You say she was the love of your life. She disappeared. You then she disappeared because we show up out
there. We tell you she disappeared and her family's looking for her. We ask you to take a lie detector test, which you
you agree to do, but then you just disappear to never return the next day. Look, you know, if if I hadn't had
anything to hide at all, I wouldn't have been I've been working up in Michigan for 30 years. All right. working for
General Motors. If I had anything to to hide about, I wouldn't be I'd be in hiding. But I ain't. Well, after all
this time, there's I mean, y'all can find me and know where I'm at. Y'all Well, and that and that's a good point.
You said you'd be in hiding, but Yeah. And I'm not, you know, I ain't I ain't never been in hiding for nothing. You
know, y'all know me. And up until two weeks ago, Bill, we had no idea where Amy was at either. Okay. We didn't know
that her body had been found and now we do and we know she was murdered. Well, I
didn't know I don't know anything about her being murdered. I didn't I didn't even know she was missing. I thought she
was still living in Florida. And and here's the difference between murder. Okay, murder is somebody intentionally
killed her. Somehow she died. Okay. And we know she didn't die by accident, but we don't know if it was during an
argument, if her death was an accident, if she hit her head, and the person that
did this panicked, which is my guess. I think that's what happened. Doesn't necessarily mean it. And the family
feels that way, too. Well, I didn't do it. But I also think Well, I ain't lie to you. I think you did. Well, I don't I
didn't. Doesn't But do you understand where I'm coming from, Bill? Don't make any sense.
I didn't do it. So, I don't think you meant to, but I think you did. I didn't do it. Did you dump somebody?
