mother that he and everyone in law enforcement were doing everything humanly possible to ensure the safety and the safe release of this little boy. the other interesting thing that came out of today's press conference in particular the one that happened earlier today just before the fbi stepped in and shut down the press conference reporter had asked the sheriff whether the boy's family had been able to speak with him during the standoff. that's when the press conference abruptly ended. it will be interesting to see if that actually turns out to be part of the negotiations whether they brought the boy's mother or someone close to the boy and enabled the conversation, perhaps playing at the heart strings of the suspect jimmy lee dykes. we simply don't know. at this point it's pure speculation. i am sure we will get an earful at the press conference that is up coming.
