David walks in this room, and it's to speak to David's confidence in that he's wearing a t-shirt that's about two sizes too small. He's wearing jeans that have holes in them.

What we're here about is we're cold case investigators. Do you want that shock and awe factor? You want him to walk in the room, you want him to see a guy with a cowboy hat on, and he knows that this is not someone from Ohio. He thought we were there just following up on an old case.

No, sir.

I'll tell you that any time I've had a jury trial, I'm scared to death when they're walking back in that room. That is the most tense moment ever for me.

Good depression. Henthorne was performing CPR. It made me realize that this was probably not gonna have a good ending. As I got closer, I started blowing my whistle, and Henthorne also had a whistle, and he responded. As I approached, she was laying on her back and her head was wrapped. It was obvious she had a head wound.
