BRIAN HAWTHORNE, CHAMBERS COUNTY SHERIFF (via telephone): You know, this is an investigation that`s obviously very complex, and you realize how many friends and relatives and people that we have in regards to persons of interest. So everybody that is a person of interest that surrounds her, which there are (INAUDIBLE) we may be in a -- I`m going be asking Tim to redirect the search in another area tomorrow.
BANFIELD: Where to?
HAWTHORNE: Well, it`s another location that`s going to be north of there. And with that being said, it may be related to some other person of interest. So what we`re doing is, I told you last night we`re trying to sit down and evaluate and make sure we have educated searches, not searches that are just blind. And so it`s not just me making these decisions. We`re sitting down as a team of investigators and looking at difficult places that we think it`s in our best interests for Tim and his experts to look.
BANFIELD: Is the Cedar Bayou done? Is it -- is it exhausted, and did it yield anything?
HAWTHORNE: Well, it has not turned anything up yet. I don`t know as it`s done. I`ll know tomorrow. Tim`s group -- like I say, they`re professionals, and they`ll be giving us maps tomorrow of every place that they`ve covered. And then we`ll see if there`s any holes that we need to go back and look at. And then we`ve got some new search area with -- we are excited for them to go look at. In this game, it`s about ruling things out at this point...
[20:25:02]BANFIELD: Sure.
HAWTHORNE: ... as we continue to have investigators that continue to go seek additional leads.
BANFIELD: Can I ask you -- the new search area, is it remote? Is it -- does it involve water? Is it rich with buildings, homes? Can you characterize the new area at all?
HAWTHORNE: Well, I will tell you that this is an urban side of a rural county, but it`s still very rural. And almost everything at this point has water on it at some point. Now, a lot of the higher ground has drained, but so much of the ground that we`ve asked Tim to look at has a lot of standing water. It`s very difficult country to do -- it`s all about rubber boots and airboats, quite honestly, at this point.
