Yeah.

Well, you would think that if they are using DNA to rule out family members, then they must have a really good DNA profile that they're able to use.

And obviously, whether or not that person, I guess it'll probably depend more upon DNA.

whether or not that person has a criminal record and their DNA is in there to begin with.

But I think all of it, the fact that it's taken, we're in our third week now before they eliminate the family, I think probably it kind of goes to the heart of just how baffling the case is.

I mean, whether this was, you know, some sort of robbery gone wrong.

If it was, why would you take the person or a body with you?

What was in the backpack when you're going into the residence?

There are just so many baffling questions about all of it, which I think is both what makes it so difficult, but also probably what generates this level of interest in it and why you have a lot of...

apparently, a lot of

really nasty, gross people trying to capitalize off of it.

And my belief that the letters are probably... For the ransom.

Yeah, yeah.

They've seen an opportunity and they're trying to take advantage of it.

I think that's right.

And I really struggled with preparing for this topic because I think as a member of the media, we often get caught up in the mechanics of the investigation because of what we're trained to do.

And sometimes we forget to sit with the reality that there is an 84-year-old woman missing.

She's a mother.

She's a grandmother.

And this family has to wake up with not knowing whether it's good news or it's bad news every day for the past couple of weeks.
