So I'd love to start there and get your thoughts just on the surface and run with it.

Yeah, I think local government, first of all, let's talk about that for a second and the environment is.

You know, I've said this many times is local government has never been unimportant, but it is clearly more important today than it has ever been.

It's the last fully functioning level of government that we've got.

And so the genesis of...

both innovation, solutions, and problem-solvings is going to bubble from the community up, right? And so I think, and then you overlay that, the environment you just described, sort of an increasing lack of civility, highly partisanship environment, an environment where expertise and experience is often devalued.

And in fact, sometimes facts are perceived to be partisan.

So, Bob, I'd love your perspective on that.

As one KBI agent later reflected, Susan's assistance was invaluable.

A fantastic lady by the name of Susan Galbraith that we came to know.

She was the person that was out front that took this case single-handedly and decided that she was going to try to do everything in her power to help find out what had happened to Jessica Curran.

It's a feeling warmly shared by KBI agent Bob O'Neill, who, even years later, maintained Susan's value in solving the case.

Here was a situation where her involvement was so great and so appreciated that in the middle of this case, we stopped and took a moment to recognize her for a job well done.

I don't think that we could have broke the case without Susan.
