12:16.720 --> 12:17.720 Huh? 12:17.720 --> 12:19.200 You think Kane and your wife have gone off together? 12:19.200 --> 12:21.240 Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not sure. 12:21.240 --> 12:22.240 Maybe they did. 12:22.240 --> 12:23.960 I've been trying to check around the mall. 12:23.960 --> 12:25.560 We're not getting very far. 12:25.560 --> 12:28.120 It's only one thing I'm really worried about. 12:28.120 --> 12:29.720 That's my little girl, Nancy. 12:29.720 --> 12:31.840 I don't care what my wife is or how far she goes. 12:31.840 --> 12:33.560 I just want my little girl back. 12:33.560 --> 12:34.560 That's all. 12:34.560 --> 12:36.560 Do you have any idea at all where your wife might have gone? 12:36.560 --> 12:37.560 No. 12:37.560 --> 12:38.560 None at all. 12:38.560 --> 12:40.280 She doesn't know California too well. 12:40.280 --> 12:42.240 She's only been out here a year. 12:42.240 --> 12:46.040 You don't know any of Kane's friends, his hangouts, or places you think he might go. 12:46.040 --> 12:47.040 No. 12:47.040 --> 12:48.880 I've never even met the guy, Sergeant. 12:48.880 --> 12:49.880 I'm going to, though. 12:49.880 --> 12:50.880 I know what he looks like. 12:50.880 --> 12:51.880 I'll meet him. 12:51.880 --> 12:53.360 Well, there's just one more thing, Gorman. 12:53.360 --> 12:57.040 If your wife was set on running off with another man, why did she take your little girl with 12:57.040 --> 12:58.040 her?

13:17.320 --> 13:19.200 I've checked on that already, Sergeant. 13:19.200 --> 13:20.960 You got the names of all the people we know. 13:20.960 --> 13:23.160 I'm sure they'd get in touch with me if they had Nancy. 13:23.160 --> 13:24.720 We'll double check them anyhow. 13:24.720 --> 13:25.720 All right. 13:25.720 --> 13:28.520 Now, if there's anything else comes up, you let us know right away, huh?
