From Smooth's transcription (BBM):
-TPD always told the parents to speak to media.. And it is absolutely inaccurate that we ever told them NOT TO SPEAK WITH MEDIA..
-Another reason we need the parents to speak with you.. A lot of questions can be cleared up and answered by the parents
(Family) working with us and answering some of our questions(stood out to me.. WHY SOME?)
Hoping they will speak to you so u can judge for yourself.. I can tell you they show a level of concern..
-Meet with both parents at the briefings.. Other individuals.. We will not comment on any others that are present at meetings..
Facinating what Pacheco says without really saying it. From this conversation, I gleen that the family does indeed already have representation and that they are attending LE meetings...that the family is only answering SOME of LE's questions...and that LE very, very much wants the family to talk to the media because then they will HAVE to answer questions or invoke the immortal words, "On the advice of our attorney, we can't talk about that..."
I would LOVE to see them on a media show. Among the first questions asked would likely be, "Have you taken a lie detector test?" And I betcha they'll answer, "On the advice of our attorney..." blah blah blah. I only hope that their interviewee doesn't agree to a statement only or agree to limited questions.
This has now become crystal clear to me. I don't know if their daughter's alive or dead, but no question in my mind now as to what is really going on here.
