Many thanks, that is what I was asking for. It's good to see Fran and Rusty's recent photos too, and Fran looking well.
I appreciate it was a direct and recent interview of Fran, while others were quoted from other media.
But there was no date for the above, which was what FW Cat had pointed out before. She might have told the reporter the date and time, and it was just not spelled out, fair enough. She might have forgotten after so many years. But it is also possible that it is not what you think it is.
And there, is the end of my discussion of this point!
Via Marple, Rusty and Fran have stated NUMEROUS times that they went to the mall that day, found the car, and had the girls paged. This fact is not in dispute. I'm not wrong about it and it isn't a misunderstanding with previous reporters. You don't have to do too much reading on this case to find more examples of these statements. They've been making them for decades.
FW Cat is disputing whether or not they actually did as they say they did. This is a different thing entirely.
Here is a pod cast interview with Rusty. You can hear the words coming out of his own mouth.
