I found the pairing odd too, he's at very least 15 years older than she is, they don't look like a couple to me at all.
Not sure why they were dragged "in" together, or if they were, but they were interviewed together and the issue, as far as we know was an email that she had sent to Jessica (or text, or something), but Mister seems to answer for Rachel, in the interview. She looks nervous, to me. JMO
