Now, yeah, again, it's a premeditated murder.

There's no videotape.

There's no eyewitness.

He's never going to confess.

At least I don't expect that he would.

He could probably waterboard him.

You're not going to get it out of him.

But it's one of those things where when on one hand, he's telling us how worried he is and how he wanted to keep his face away from the media coverage because he was afraid that it would be a distraction.

Or he was afraid that if Amber came forward, then we would no longer search for her, which...

Gosh, we were going to search for her regardless.

It doesn't make any difference if Amber's part of the equation or not.

And so, you know, when he's doing that, you notice at the vigil, he's got the baseball hat pulled down low.

He's got the collar up on the jacket, everything like that.

And, you know, from a distance, you might not even connect them as your boyfriend if you're Amber, you know, cooking spaghetti and you just glance over your shoulder at the TV, which, of course, she didn't do because she didn't watch a lot of TV.

Yeah, there was a total of 29 hours of recorded phone calls between the two of them.

But what happened with that is we were going to keep her on ice as long as we could.

We didn't want to bring her forward.

We didn't necessarily expect that he was going to tell her that he killed his wife and he wanted to run off to Belgium with her or anything like that.

But we were hopeful that we might be able to get something else out of that.

So we were going to keep working this for a while.
