Did that make it feel as if sort of the, you know, the, the noose was closing on you?

I had a couple of Talena's, uh, friends call me during that first month that she was missing and ask me if I was okay.

I said, "Is there a specific reason you're asking?" And, and they said, "It's all the conspiracy theories, it's all the haters online, and everything that's being said." And I told them, "I don't have any time to be reading all this garbage that everybody's conjecturing and talking about."

You're saying many people would have that kinda knowledge.

I believe so, but would they use it? No, of course not.

It's horrific.

Who would do something like that? Who would do something like that to their best friend? We were as close as two people could be.

I would die for her if I could, still to this day.
