For me, the moment as this is all coming together, I think this was even before we got the blood.
I can't remember the exact sequence.
But for me, the absolute alarm bell went off when they got into Chris's apartment.
And he had two surfboards that were there, two custom-made surfboards.
And any surfer knows that if you're taking a surf trip anywhere, you're not leaving your boards behind.
So then they did a forensic workup of the Range Rover and they found blood in the back of the Range Rover.
So that was clearly used to transport.
So we then get into Ed's phones and we find out that a couple of nights after Chris went missing,
Ed's phone is pinging at this place called Desert Hot Springs, which is a tiny little like dot on a map just north of the Mexican border on the way to Calexico in Mexico.
This is like East County, San Diego.
Middle of nowhere, right.
And as a general rule, when you work homicides in Southern California, if you get a human body out into the Pacific Ocean or you get a human body out into the desert, that body will not be found.
If you throw a body in a lake, it's popping up.
But if you throw a body in the ocean or you get somebody out in the desert, it's gone.
And so we have one cell phone tower and it's got like, I think it's 120 mile radius of desert land.
And Ed pinged off that at three in the morning after renting a truck at like,
U-Haul or something.
And he drives off into the desert in the middle of the night in a pickup truck.
And so we, we, we know where Chris's body is.
Well, right.
