honest answer. you don t fly this way out here to ask me some questions. well, actually, i did. did you do anything to her? no. did you hurt her? no. we never touched. at all? not even a hook. and i usually hug people. he was questioned for more than three hours. but travis stuck to his original story. so, did she have sex with you? nash, i think at this point, i i my lawyer should be president. travis refused to talk anymore. but, he didn t have a choice about providing his dna, thanks to that warrant that the detective brought from colorado. it is going to swab the inside of your gums. and, though a stolen car charge seemed hardly enough to warrant extradition, it was, in the end, just enough. a few weeks later, travis was back in a colorado jail. i didn t want him in texas,
would come forward with a clue. we kept putting our ears everywhere. we had to do it. she s our friend. it got nowhere. you just have to be strong. you just pray for the best. but now, family and friends were not alone in the search for kenya. a veteran denver police detective name nash started looking, too. to say that the detective is imposing is, perhaps, an understatement. he looks more like a character from the sopranos, that hates when children go missing. i wanted to find her, give her family closure, and give the city of denver closure. i was determined to bring her home. i was determined to bring her home. carrie lombardi was the deputy da assigned at the case.
