Published | Video Starts at 00:10

The language that I put in is when a service member goes missing, we should begin an investigation immediately, because it's not common for service members to just disappear. And it took. It took folks on that Navy base days before they realized that, hey, there's something beyond her just not coming back to the base. And they should have begun a criminal investigation immediately and then started investigating and talking to other service members, saying, when was the last time you saw her? (00:10–00:19)
