00:00We are so sorry, obviously, for the loss your family has been dealing with for so long now,

00:07but is there some renewed hope since the documentary and all these tips that you're getting?

00:14Obviously, since day one, we've never run out of hope.

00:18A lot of people don't understand that and can't relate, but certainly Netflix brought this back

00:26alive. I mean, there's been a lot of years. The case has been stagnant here and there for years

00:33at a time, and little things happen, and obviously nothing has ultimately come from them, but

00:38the renewal and the revitalization of her story and her name to people from all over the world

00:47has definitely brought countless leads. I mean, there's been thousands of emails and phone calls

00:56that we've gotten that we're going through one at a time. There are certain leads that we've gotten

01:01that we need to follow up on that we can't rule out without looking into it. So there are some

01:06things going on right now that I can't share just so as not to compromise the integrity of the

01:14investigation or what's happening. But certainly, this is the first time ever, I think,

01:20the whole world's paying attention. I don't want to be insensitive, but she was on a family cruise

01:27with you, and then all of a sudden she disappears. In 27 years, the notion that she couldn't find access

01:39to a phone, that must go through your head that if she were alive, you had absolutely no contact in

01:4727 years. Yeah. I mean, it's certainly, you wonder, and your mind, you know, kind of goes in circles,

01:53and you don't know the circumstance, and don't know her mental condition or what she's been through,

01:58don't know if she's being looked over by people that don't allow her that access. I mean, you know,

02:06who knows? We don't know. But that is a question that's been raised, you know, many times over the

02:14years, and we don't have an answer for it. I'm sure that if she's still alive and still out there,

02:21there's a reason, and it's because she doesn't want to talk to us or want to be found. So I don't

02:28know how to answer that question. But yeah, obviously, we've thought about it, and it's been

02:34brought up a number of times. How do you kind of compartmentalize this in your life,

02:40in your family's life, that you may never get an answer to this? And you may not know if she

02:47survived or not. And you may just have to live with that for the rest of your life. That's a

02:53really difficult thing. How are you managing that? Well, I mean, I was 21 at the time, and I've been

02:59living with that exact thing for more than half my life. Unfortunately, we're used to it. And I don't

03:08know what's worse, you know, if we were to receive some news that gave us closure and finality

03:16or not knowing and still being able to hope. I think what keeps us going is the hope and the

03:25feeling. You know, I've shared on a lot of different interviews I've done lately that my parents and I

03:32have always shared this kind of unexplained gut feeling that she's still alive. And I don't, you know,

03:38I can't make sense of that for people. But, you know, we live with hope, and we've never stopped,

03:46never will, unless we have a reason to. So it is my life. I mean, it's not something I can

03:53compartmentalize. You know, when I go to work, I think about it. And when I go home, I think about it.

04:00When I go to bed, I can't fall asleep because of it. You know, especially it's been amplified since

04:07this whole thing started a couple weeks ago after the Netflix series aired. But, you know,

04:12it's not something that is compartmentalized. It is, it just is our life.
