First, let's not use the word "hired" because that implies money. Same as organizations. We don't get "hired"....we represent, we don't get paid. (Cue does not get paid either. Their work is also all volunteer to whomever above posted they were "hired.") It is still questionable as to what "continued" involvement JR's mom/dad has or had with KR. When we represent a family of a missing loved one one thing we know....the family wants communications from law enforcement. They want to know what they are doing, do they have any leads and want open communications. Ask any family how devastating it is when LE closes down and quits talking with them? The fastest way to close down communications is to bring in a private investigator. We strongly advise families to work with PD. If and when it may appear that they are not getting open communication and their needed answers...then they may want to consider a PI but even at that....we tell them their best choice is going to be one that their detective or police force recommends. There are many PI's that are retired from a force and have an excellent and professional relationship with the investigators and do PI work. Therefore, that is when we may recommend that a private investigator be brought in. To date GR has a very good (excellent) communications going with a number of law enforcement that are investigating Jennifer's disappearance. They answer his questions, they communicate, they contact him back right away...and they are reachable. And...they are doing a very thorough job. Do not think they were easy on him either. When I say they did a very thorough job...I mean they questioned him right off the bat very extensively and for very long hours....just as any other spouse of a missing loved one. They dot their i's and cross their t's. They are doing a very good job. When I say forensics, I don't mean just the regular "check for blood/body/dna" forensics...I am also talking computer forensics and all that should be done...is being done. No, GR is not hiring a PI to cross over what is being done appropriately with the investigation. He is following their guidance. He has conveyed over and again he did not harm his wife. I believe him.
