Yeah. He's in a hole in Oregon. Wow. It's exactly where he should be. He had a very loving, close relationship with his daughter, who was a little girl. And then she was 15 when he got caught. And so she had to reconcile this loving, sweet dad with who was this monster. And I had no ambition or attraction to playing a serial killer at all. But this is told from her point of view.

And it's the relationship between her and her father. And she really had a lot of courage to even tell this story. And that's why I'm doing it.
