I am interested to see if anymore comes of it.

Same here. I'd imagine the police will look into this deeper, and maybe find something. Perhaps the son was suspicious of his parents like the Jennings' daughter is and he says something during the interview.

What really makes this show fascinating is that it is "old school" espionage. No cell phones (I love the use of the pay phones). No e-mail (the postcard [and I am assuming occasional phone calls] appear to be the only contact Elizabeth had with the kids while she was gone). No digital recording (actual tapes). Very rudimentary means of communications (dispatching cables - shortwave coded communications). shite, the rotary phones crack me up.

I (and many of the "oldtimers" on the board) remember what it was like to actually live like this, with this level of communication ability.
