6:14 pm
you describe everything, oh, what happened with that marriage? oh, he was hiking the appalachian trail. >> that story was dubious, because if he had been hiking the appalachian trail, it's pretty easy to go find where he is and get him to ashville or to some other town to wave in front of the camera and sigh this is a ridiculous story. and they didn't do that. my colleagues and i looked at each other in the newsroom and said what about those e-mails. >> those e-mails had been anonymously leaked to the news six months earlier, reportedly written by sanford to his mistress in argentina. >> there were reports in there that we knew to be true, but we did have some doubts about whether this could be an elaborate hoax. we all said this could be it. we had already started checking flight schedules between atlanta and bu buenos ares.
