What can be seen in their interaction?(Sam and perp)
The problem we have here is that during that interaction and him coming inside we cannot clearly see his face and we've all understood that or we'd certainly be releasing that. But we can see obviously her reactions. and the rest here is evidence that we do not want to discuss those actions only the players themselves will be privy to.
What was Samantha's reactions?
Well it was obvious that she was taken away against her will by her reaction.
What indications are there that would have you believe this was not a stranger to her?
Nothing we have released has characterized it to be like that and I'd be careful about that because we dont know if she knew this person or if she did not know this person. But if you think of it like what her job is she's gonna have interaction with hundreds of people a day. She may recognize them as someone who stopped in for coffee once or twice. We dont know and we'll have to wait til the case gets further along before we can make a determination of what the relationship was(if one).
I guess another way to ask that does this appear to be a crime of opportunity or someone who knew Sam?
We just dont know and all avenues are being investigated. Again look at it from the bad guys position, the suspects perspective there is a girl, alone in a coffee kiosk and that they decided to take advantage of her. it could be that she knew him from the coffee hut or not. All avenues are being investigated.
What does her friends/family say about anyone after her or weirdos hanging around the coffee shop?
You guys disvovered the protective order I assume you guys have copies of that(the protective order) As a parent that is someone I'd be concerned about. We're working all avenues and we fully expect we'll be able to put it all together.
Has he been ruled out(CB)?
I dont think they're ready to speak to that.
How many times have you spoken to CB?
I dont believe that they'll answer that its a long and arduous process and we just cant release that right now.
Do police know where he was during the time of the abduction?
If they do they wouldnt release that.
And then the officer goes into the comparing real life cases to 1hr tv shows and how its just not the same and that we have to allow LE to thoroughly investigate..
There were definitely a couple things that jumped out at me..
