Does he have any Texas ties?

And of course, that would be the next question.

He was at the border in Texas and New Mexico and got stopped.

And we knew...

I mean, are you kidding?

I mean, this has to be him.

You know, his M.O., once we were learning more about the crimes that they knew he had committed, and then to be in Texas two days after the yogurt shop, getting out of the state, and then to have a .380 in his possession, it's going to be a real weird coincidence if it isn't him.

It was, you know, those moments, those flashbacks that you remember and you'll remember forever.

You know, one was the first meeting in 2017.

And then, of course, it's where I was when we got to certain pieces of information about Brashears.

And then, of course, a career highlight.

We had been, I mean, it was surreal that we, I couldn't believe we had the answer after all this time.

I knew, you know, Debra, I knew we would find it because we had DNA.

And I've always felt like one day technology, you know, would catch up and we'd figure it out.

I just didn't know if I'd be alive, but I knew that they would one day.

I did.
