Thank to the witnesses for appearing here, and to those who are at a distance, thank you also for your participation.
I have a question for Chief Freeman.
I want to take you back to the initial news conference that you gave after the abduction of Tori. You were saying that “returning Victoria to our community and to her family will bring some sense of relief to Tara McDonald [the mother] and Rodney Stafford [the dad] and all the family”. We all know, unfortunately, that this did not happen.
In your experience, kidnapping cases don't involve just kidnapping, do they? There are always more horrific events that surround them, whether it be sexual assault or murder. Is this something that's fairly common in your, I guess regretful, experience?
