Payne and Gottlieb, who host a podcast “,” spoke with 成人X站 Nights’ Gee Scott and Zak Burns about their investigation.
There have been a lot of “wild goose chases” Payne said, but also 鈥渁 lot of chasing trails, some of which led to very fruitful evidence.”
“We kept getting stuck,” Payne said. “Because the prime suspect does not fit the pattern鈥� that has been put out to the public. “When you really start pulling it back and take away that top level story and that narrative that has been out there, the pieces don鈥檛 make sense.鈥�
“It鈥檚 far more complicated than your standard murder case,” Gottlieb said. “For a nine-month investigation, we know a lot about a lot of the people but we know very little about Tom Wales.鈥�
Was there a hitman? Host Gee Scott pointed out that shady people hang around other shady people and those people usually end up talking.
Payne also wonders, “with a $1.5 million reward, the top priority of the Justice Department, why is no one talking?”
Zak Burns wanted to know if Payne and Gottlieb ever feel like Mulder and Scully (X-Files), where you think you鈥檙e approaching an answer and then you open a box and there are 10 new questions.
Gottlieb explained, “Every time they turned around, there was Pandora鈥檚 Box. It鈥檚 still pretty mind blowing and intense.”
