The thing is, she was just watching to make sure that I don't get, I don't know, murdered. And then...

You're a grown woman. Yeah, because there's a bunch of weirdos on the Internet. So you have to be careful.

You guys, well, you already said you were going to give me a gift card. Let's go.

Um, honestly, I like to ask my mom to come.

Why would you do that? Let's go. Well, I have my mom kind of creep in the background. It's not like she's sitting with us or anything, like just to make sure that like the vibes are right and that I'm safe. And, you know, you never know.

No, spot on. She's just a random person at the bar.

Well, to start at the beginning, this guy, Jeremy, I met him on, I know you're going to roll your eyes. I met him on Tinder. That's fine.

All right. So we met on Tinder and honestly, we hit it off pretty quick. But, like, it kind of seemed stagnant. Like, it wasn't going anywhere. Like, we talked for a few weeks. But we mostly just talked about food. Like, we're both just big foodies. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, I sort of just had to be like, hey, are we going on a date? Or are we just going to sit here and, like, talk about food that we're not ever going to eat together? Yeah.

And after a matter of a week, I'm going to say something. Like, I am that girl.

I agree.

Okay.

Okay. Well, he suggested sushi. Love that. Love that. So I chose the restaurant because I knew where it was. My mom and I have been there before, so that was also helpful.

Oh, yeah. I'm all in. I'm ready to go. And so I end up carpooling there with my mom. And we get there a little early, obviously, because I don't want to get busted. But I have mom post up at the bar, and he and I meet up, and everything's pretty normal at this point. Okay.

Not necessarily. I mean, there was one point when, like, I got up to go to the bathroom, and, like, I definitely did just one quick check-in with her. Okay.

Yeah, I mean, we were making quick work of the sushi menu. We did it all from sushi to sashimi to seaweed salad.

Well, we went outside and yes, I have to get in the car with my mom. So like I have to finesse this. So I just want to tell him like, hey, this was great. And I like gave him a quick kiss. But like he kind of did seem a little surprised by that.

Yeah, again, I am that girl.

I mean, yeah, she was like lurking in the background.

and what do you mean he seemed surprised by the kiss how so i don't know like i kind of just threw it out there it was quick he was kind of like looked like he was reeling a tiny bit i don't know we did just eat a bunch of sushi that could be on me

Well, I think everyone was caught off guard by the kiss, mom included.

Well, thank God that didn't happen.

Oh, yeah, definitely.

No, that's why I'm calling you. It's just, it's been awkward. I don't know what's up.

Oh.

That feels normal. Sir, respectfully, what are you talking about? Like, I'm running for president. You suggested sushi. I suggested the restaurant.

Wait.

You picked sushi. So what? I was going to talk to you for weeks. On the off chance you would land on sushi, even though I told you pick absolutely anything.

Just answer me yes or no.

Oh, quite frankly, that is none of your business. And if you would like to know, that's where my mom and I like to go. It's our favorite restaurant, she and I. Yeah, because you get all the free food there.

You offered to pay. I said, thank you, because that is the appropriate response. And then I put my loyalty card down. I'm not going to let $160, like, $160 bill go without, like, just putting points on my card. Like, you're paying for it anyway. Like, why not?

cash in on it so you you said you and your mom go there did you use the loyalty points from this date on the next time that you and your mom went and ate there why would it matter i'm just curious i always use my loyalty card when we go and eat there and yeah we went there like a week or so after this date that he and i had so like technically probably but i had a lot of points on that card

Here's the thing. After hearing the way this man feels about me because I'm apparently a scam artist, let me just pull the curtain all the way back. Let's get so real right now. Oh, there's more behind the curtain? The week or so after when I went there with my mom was not even the most important time that I went there with my mom.

I think the most noteworthy time is the fact that my mother was there when we were on this date in the first place. She was sitting at the bar.

Are you going to let me speak?

I wasn't thinking about police investigation. I was just trying to find her. I was insanely scared.

I pulled up her phone records. She has not made any phone calls since Tuesday night. And someone has been resetting her passwords.

You know, it's not her. We know it's not her.

So Tuesday night at 1127, she left our house and went to a place on Fraser Avenue. Wednesday, it left Fraser Avenue, came right here. It hadn't been moved since. I pulled up her phone records. She has not made any phone calls since Tuesday night.

No data has been used because I had her phone line transferred to a new device so I could track her stuff. And someone has been resetting her passwords. You know, it's not her. We know it's not her.

See if she actually drove this car here.

Can we try?

What would he have to say?

And last time you seen her was Saturday? No.

And you haven't talked to her since then? Hang on one second. Hang on one second, Jason. I just muted him. He just lied. He talked to her for 71 minutes. He would remember that.

Hey, Jason, I just called off her call log, and I have it on here where she talked to you for 71 minutes Tuesday afternoon while her granny was in the hospital.

Okay, I'm just letting you, please document it.

Could we possibly go to a local business that you have to pass to get these apartments and ask them to pull up footage so we could see if she's driving her car?

I understand that. But I can't just not. I understand.

And she said, Dr. Russell— Mr. Brennan, I'm not somebody that just came in off the street. I have at least 30 years as a physician, and I use that information in helping me form my opinions about wounds. I've seen all types of wounds.

Is there any evidence that makes you know conclusively that this was a fake? Well, I can tell you that our investigation has concluded that none of the claims has been substantiated.

The judge ended the day in suspense. They do end up finding her body, and those charges are up to murder.

It's not normal for my daughter to be missing.

Pinned up.

It's like what I've done. I am glad I got caught.

I'm sorry for what I've done, but I am glad I got caught. I 100% believe that it was Jesus who made me get caught. Answer my prayer.

Hi, Charlie. My name is Katrina. I'm in Phoenix, but I was born and raised in the Philippines and I got my US citizenship recently. So I have a question. Since I work at healthcare and I get a lot of patients that are VA, from the VA, and they have been airing out their frustration about the administration cutting the budget, VA budget. So how do I respond or answer? their frustrations.

Thank you so much.

No, I don't work for the VA. We just get a lot of patients from VA.

So they say that they're not getting the same benefits as they were previously. In the past, some of the things that they were, for example, because I am in an acute rehab facility, and they say that the resources that they usually could get before, it's hard to get it now because of the budget cuts, things like that.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm Katrina.

Just for ideas, really. I was vegetarian many years ago, for a long time, and I feel that sometimes I eat too much meat or we have too much meat, so it's nice to get ideas and use what's in the fridge rather than buy stuff all the time.
