Robin Drake, that's pretty impressive, but enough about you and on to Maya.
Robin, can I tell you, I know the precise moment when my twins left this morning to go to their job. They have a job this summer. I know the moment because I haven't had my phone in my hand and I glanced down to see if they were going to be late. They were not, of course, but I glanced because I'd been hurrying them all morning. I remember that and I can look and see when I got texts from them during the day. So how does somebody not notice their child has been missing for eight months?
Robin, I have to accept and I learned this when prosecuting. I mean, I grew up in a very rural, almost idyllic childhood where we were very loved. So other lifestyles were foreign to me. But when you're investigating and prosecuting, you have to accept that other people have different lifestyles.
Robin, this is the baby's family. They're lying. They are refusing to speak to police to protect their own drug paraphernalia and drug possession in the home right there. That's just scream to you regarding red flags in their behavior.
100 percent. Nancy, the thing that keeps screaming at me on this, we talk about and I keep talking about these behavior arcs.

Episode: GIFTED DANCER, 22, FOUND DEAD IN BURNING CAR: WHO...
The author, a retired FBI special agent, spoke about how the manner of the crime, specifically the burning car, indicates an attempt to get rid of evidence and a potential stalker. He believes the killer deliberately chose to use a different car, so the victim could not be easily traced.
"
And it was this whole thing just rings of sloppiness, potential stalker in here, and missing, you know, they found gloves in the car, lighter fluid. I mean, just it, it just rings of a lot of things going sideways in a lot of different ways.
So her car couldn't be traced back to her through the VIN number, which can endure a fire because if they got that VIN, which is basically etched onto a car, they could trace the VIN number on the car back to the owner, which would be Mercedes.
And I guarantee you Robin Drake, the killer hoped her body would be burned beyond recognition.
And I agree, Nancy. And what I went by sideways on this one, I don't think it looked very sophisticated. It looks like a potential serial stalker. Who's just setting on his course of doing horrendous things in his life. And she might want to run the earlier victims of his.
I think the victim assistance program has failed miserably, has been pointed out. And the amount of evidence, DNA evidence, video evidence, fingerprint evidence, I think should be overwhelming.
