Lester Holt

So, Andrea, what was the trial like?

What was the courtroom like?

You've got these two families who were represented there who, you know, have this really tense relationship.

Did they talk among each other?

Did they rub elbows?

And Andrew, you and I have covered lots of stories where maybe there was no body or they didn't have any DNA or this or that.

And how about those interrogation scenes, the one with Steve Lawson?

That was fiery.

And Brooks brought in a pretty high-powered lawyer, well-known lawyer in those parts.

And

His defense was pretty straightforward, and it really hit a little bit on what we talked about earlier, the sense of, you know, that police didn't have a lot of physical evidence, witness evidence, etc.,

And the prosecution put together a pretty big team as well.

As this case went along, many different people were coming into it.

But this was a group that looked around and decided we've got what we need.

Did you get that sense?

I won't push you too far, but did you get the sense that there's a belief that this can and will someday be solved?

Well, Andrea, you had a chance to obviously sit down with Crystal's mom to talk about kind of what's next and what she takes away from where this case is right now.

She is such a compelling interview.

And as I listen to her, I think, you know, she's not just talking to unnamed people out there.

She's talking to people that we have featured on this program from time to time.
