adam: if you were the detective for the annapolis police department who had the ability to speak with this individual, what questions would you ask that person? >> well, i would ask him, first of all, what was his motivation? was it personal? was it a boyfriend/girlfriend issue? was it, you know, about the news? and this is where that social media stuff, i think, could play a big role into it because we can see what he's been saying online. and you've bot to remember, too, there's more than likely video surveillance that we're dealing with, that they could have potential evidence in that too. internet records, cell phone records, all of this is going to be playing. and i think, you know, if i was running an investigation like that, i'd be trying to gather that information before we sit down and ask tough questions. the initial question would be the emergency stuff. adam: last question, joe, how likely is it -- i've heard statistics, i don't know if it's true or not -- in murders, most of the people people know the person who has harmed them. in these kinds of situations, is that any k
