reporter: it didn t sound right to the cops either. but they had nothing to hold travis on. he d been cooperative, forthcoming, concerned for kenia. so they let him go. as the meeting wrapped up, travis sidled up to tony and started talking. he was crying, telling me, i promised i d take care of her. i wish i could have followed through on what i d done. i feel responsible for this. wish i could have done more. reporter: travis certainly seemed sincere. his story, though strange, was consistent. maybe he was telling the truth and that man kenia met at the gas station had abducted her. i stuck my hand out, said appreciate it. and we shook hands. and when i shook his hand, it was as if an earthquake was going on under his feet and it was only in my hand i could feel it. his arm wasn t shaking, his body wasn t shaking, there was no quivering, but i felt that shake. and i looked at him. and i knew i d shaken the hand of the last person that had seen kenia alive. there was no doubt
