journal ran an article on the missing mechanic and father. the cold case, which had been virtually dead for years was suddenly picking up steam. reporter jack proctor it triggered some tips to the police department and it got people, you know, talking about this as something other than a husband who had walked off on his family. reporter: for the first time, albuquerque police were publicly calling the case a potential homicide investigation and that caught the attention of a man named frank. he said, i m the one who lent her the gun. if you think she s a suspect in this, i don t want my family in danger so i want to turn the bogun over to you reporter: frank was a straight, by the book guy, who bee friended her in february 2001. she was telling people he yells at her all the time.
and she s missing. reporter: marty, lynsie s older friend who kept their relationship a secret and lied about his name. and chris reporter: and so larry sat down and read through the entire case file. all the witness statements. all the interviews. he did that for two years. here we go down this road again. reporter: he watched the february 2001 interview that police did with a very unhappy marty. doesn t it strike you as tremendously suspicious that marty would call after lynsie disappears, talk to lynsie s mother and give a phony name? if you didn t know the background of marty, then absolutely. when i talked to the mother on the phone, i just gave an identifier, okay? i mean, marty rossler.
