Character. she didnt show up on either day. >> the evidence whisperer wasnt present at either of those interviews, but watching them helped him solve the mystery of what happened to a vivacious young woman and bring answers to the mother who loved her. >> i was always proud of her. she was a real fighter. >> lynsie eckland arrived on july 27th, 1980. she was the youngest of three. maybe that fighting spirit isnt visible in her photos, but her mother nancy said it was always there. lynsie had a p...

And before chris could really respond larry laid out his case. he said he knew chris had never dropped lynsie off that night because the atm photo that at first fooled investigators actually proved chris wasnt there. >> it wasnt your truck, but for years it was thought of that it was your truck. its not. matter of fact, your truck did not go by that night. it wasnt there. >> he told chris about the credit card statement and how he found someone who remembered chris working on the job site. >> al...

Trying to decide between two suspects. >> i mean, im concerned about this girl, you know? and shes missing. >> marty, lynsies older friend who kept their relationship a secret and lied about his name and chris. >> she might be still alive. >> the last person known to have seen lynsie who dropped her off at that corner. >> at that point any idea on your part which of those two was the more likely suspect? >> no. i dont know until i get into it and see the details. >> you no doubt have a reputatio...

That sounded strange to police until they heard from lynsies friends that at other times she had asked to be dropped off right here. chris said he then drove home and police even found a photo from a bank atm of what looked like chriss truck heading north on the right street at the right time. to the cops chriss story added up. and that was when police learned matthew and chris were not the only men in lynsies life. there was someone else both matthew and chris had mentioned to investigators, an...

Was he polite, good manners? >> uh-huh. >> but nancy said something felt wrong. >> i had a feeling about him. >> what feeling? >> i dont know. >> but you put it aside? >> uh-huh. >> of course, nancy was used to things feeling wrong. she had spent so many years worrying about lynsie. it was a struggle to let go, but she did. >> the last thing i said to her was remember your seat belt and she looks over her shoulder and she said, back at you, mom, love you. thats the last thing she said to me. >> ...

>> i think i need a lawyer to talk to you about this with me. >> well, its up to you. >> the supreme court has made it pretty clear if someone declares that they want an attorney, the interview is supposed to stop until one can be hired or provided, but in this case larry was walking a line believing that asking for a lawyer isnt the same as wondering if you need one. corrine loomis was watching from another room. >> thats about as close as you can get to the i want a lawyer line without actuall...
