Juanita: I’m sorry. I know we’ve covered this already, but I’m still stuck on the fact that you didn’t call the police. Especially once you realized you couldn’t gather the ransom. You knew you were out of options, you just told me you didn’t have the money to save them, and still you decided not to call the police.
Cam: Is there a question in there somewhere?
Juanita: Yes.
Cam: [silence]
Juanita: Don’t you want to answer it?
Cam: No.
Juanita: No, you didn’t call the police, or no, you don’t want to answer? Which one?
Cam: Both. Next question.
Juanita: Fine. You testified that you managed to stitch together just over $49,000 from numerous accounts, that you placed the cash for the ransom in a box on the floorboard of your truck, and then...what? Where is that money now?
Cam: Maybe you haven’t heard, but I recently filed for bankruptcy. My property was seized and is being sold off to pay back investors and debtors. Whatever cash I had on hand, whatever else I owned of value...it’s all gone. My possessions were picked clean.
Juanita: Yes, but that $49,000, there’s no record of it in any of your bankruptcy documents. I know I’m not the only one who’s wondering, where did that money go? Who has it now?
Cam: [smiles] I don’t know, Juanita. But if you find out, I’d sure like to know.
