Joe is an absolute POS. Even after going to Greece she could have gone to London to work or travel. She didn't need to go back to this loser.
K Buchan
Did you ask George if he received a call from Joe at 0200 the night she went missing, and if so, what did he say to George?
Holly Dawson
An important thing to consider with meth heads, someone could punch your granny 2pm Friday and if you can't get it from anywhere else, the person who punched granny is written a call. There are no enemies when you're chasing.
Jacob Lipson
Excellent production!
Megan
excellent work on this series. Great to find two such capable experts to comment on the case. would you believe that here in the States, wherevthese two happen to be from, these experts may not be available to assist law enforcement -- or, even, that some law enforcement departments simply would never avail themselves of the assistance of such experts by choice?
