I think any good investigator immediately looks at an iPhone, a cell phone, because it's really a roadmap of our minds, our movements. It tells a whole story.

I think what struck me is that Anyone who watches True Crime knows that sometimes in interrogations, investigators might say something that isn't entirely true to try to get something out of someone they're questioning. But in this case, Seven Ways to Be Her Hero is not a book most people have. And Rod Metzer knew he had that book. Rod Metzer knew he had zip ties.

Rod Metzer had to have known what they were saying were facts and that they knew they were onto him and that they'd seen this evidence. And the fact that he was still... Playing dumb, essentially, for lack of a better word, just didn't make any sense to me. Like, I didn't understand. You're not helping yourself. And it was honestly his demeanor was just pretty brazen, I think.

I think it's a great question. It's a question that Morgan herself asked the investigators, and they told her that essentially because Rod, he had a gun, didn't shoot her, one. And two, took her off the bed and... Put her out on the porch knowing she was fully alive, saved him from an attempted murder charge. And she said, well, but what about the strangulation?

Like she thought, as she told me in the hour, she was going to die. Yeah. And they said, well, that's the aggravated assault charge. That's for the strangulation.

I don't think she's actively concerned about her safety. He is not allowed to contact her. I think she hopes that he'll respect that. I think at the moment she feels OK. I think right now she's just sort of in the present and trying to take care of her kids. 25 years is still a long time. So I think right now she's she's OK.
