You know, we're not going to, we don't tell people everything that we know when we're working one of these cases.

You can't, you know, because maybe you're wrong too.

And it might, you know, you're not going to disrupt a family and the relationships with your suspicions.

You know, you work your suspicions and you gather your evidence to prove your case, you know, and to present it to a jury.

I told my wife.

When?

Early December.

But it was not something that we weren't dealing with.

No, you know, I can't say that even, you know, she was okay with the idea.

But it wasn't anything that would break us apart.

You know, that remains a mystery to me, but it also plays kind of against his claim about fishing.

I'm sure, you know, okay, two weeks later, on Christmas Eve, she's baking gingerbread cookies, and she's going to say it's okay for him to go fishing, thinking maybe he's going fishing or maybe he's going down to Fresno again.

I mean, I just don't see that.

And, you know, we get a lot of insight into Lacey and what she was about by, you know, her friend Lori and Renee and Stacey and Kim.

You know, they tell us a lot of things, along with Amy and Brent and, of course, Sharon and Ron.

But when, you know, when we talk to them about things like this, there's no way on this planet that she would be OK with this.

You know, she would have tossed him out of the house like a bag of garbage.

You know, she wouldn't have put up with that.

Well, of course, you remember the bodies were discovered in a two-day period in April.

And when the first body was discovered, I was just kind of, eh, that might not have anything to do with our case.
