| 0:00.0 | So one thing I think that all these profilers agreed upon was that it was to get back at Savannah. |
| 0:10.0 | And no one here was claiming neither Jim Clementi, either Gary Bucato, neither Anne Burgess, |
| 0:18.0 | that this was a home invasion or kidnapping for money. But again, these are |
| 0:23.7 | guesses. And how do we explain? I mean, we had another really brilliant law enforcement person |
| 0:30.5 | on the show. Actually, Matt Murphy, who was a L.A. County District Attorney, who was, I think, 50 and O in homicide cases, |
| 0:40.6 | he says, he believes all those ransom notes were absolute bullshit, that they were not, they were not real. |
| 0:48.7 | They just were, you know, people opportunists jumping on this case and trying to make some money out of it. |
| 0:56.2 | So when we look at this case and look at the potentiality that all three of these |
| 1:02.7 | profilers said this was revenge. |

I mean, you know, she's not controversial in any way, shape, or form. If you ever watched her on the morning show, she's very pleasant. She seems, I don't know, like the girl next door, so to speak. And to me, I don't see that. |
| 1:44.6 | Now, I don't know her personally. |
| 1:46.3 | I don't know what was going on in her personal life. |
| 1:48.7 | Could there have been some person, some random psychopath that did have an extreme hate towards a, yeah, of course. |
| 1:56.5 | But they seem to be all pointing in that direction that this is a revenge thing and I just don't see it. |
| 2:02.6 | If it were, go in, hurt her, kill her, whatever it is, and leave, why would you go in there and go through all of these things? |
| 2:11.2 | And I've said it before, keeping it simple. |
