There was a time, and I guess this goes back probably, I mean, this has been going on for a long time, three, four years, when I really did believe that we were going to finally get the true answer to this case, that there was going to be movement in that direction.

It would happen.

All we had to do was wait and see, and it hasn't happened.

So, I don't know.

Yeah.

You have daughters and you know how you would feel.

I have daughters and I find myself thinking about young Michelle O'Keefe who will never grow old, never have born children, never be married.

All of those things that she would have had in her life that she will not have.

She could have had a fine, fine life.

And those are the things I carry with me anyway.

The reason that you still want to have some justice for that girl.

Indeed, yes, that's right.

One of the things for which I am eternally grateful is that we've been on the air long enough at Dateline to be able to follow cases for, you know, 25 and more years and keep track of all the people in them.

And it's just so fascinating.

So it's a gift because of how long we've been around.

No, they don't.

Thank you.

It was a pitch-black night in the high desert, Antelope Valley, up the Grapeline Highway north of L.A.

It was late February.

The year was 2000.
