I do find it interesting that they didn’t try to match the shoe print from the AC unit to McBride’s shoes that evening, if for nothing else than to prove that she hadn’t attempted to enter that way. Seems to me like a no brainer.

Whoa.

Cyndi Maxwell is a stoned fox.

I still think this was a bad shoot.
