Gotta break my own rule for a moment (trust me, it's good)-

WILLIAMS: Absolutely. Well, you know, my first guest says that she's completely baffled by the strange disappearance of her grandfather. Take a look at this.
(Excerpt from videotape)
BRANDI: On December 10th of last year, my grandfather disappeared without a trace. He is an independent jeweler, and at the time of his disappearance, he had a large amount of jewelry in his SUV. Three days later, the police found his vehicle abandoned with a few pieces of jewelry left inside. There are no leads or any suspects. My family misses him so much. Sylvia, can you give us any information as to what happened that day and where he is?
(End of excerpt)
WILLIAMS: Please welcome Brandi and her--and Vicki to the show. Thank you both very much for being here. And--and, Brandi, if you can, sum it up. What happened to your grandfather? He was a jeweler who was out on the road, right? He--and he would go to various pawn shops, buying and exchanging jewelry?
BRANDI: Correct, he was an independent jeweler, and he was out making his rounds, selling and trading, buying diamonds, buying watches. And he had the regular, normal jewelry business.
Ms. BROWNE: Two--Can I?
WILLIAMS: Go right ahead.
Ms. BROWNE: Two--I don't know what--I don't know--the old word is hobos. Two men followed him because they knew he was a jeweler. He was also carrying diamonds on him. Are you aware of that?
WILLIAMS: Right.
BRANDI: Yes.
WILLIAMS: Yeah. Matter of fact, he had about $1 million worth of diamonds in jewelry on him.
Ms. BROWNE: Dollars worth of diamonds, yeah. They waylaid him, took--they--yeah, like it said in the film thing here--that they left a few. That was to show, you know, sort of like good faith, but they took everything he had. He had even diamonds in a little brown bag that he carried, with a little drawstring. Do you see what I mean? They took that. And then they literally loaded him and threw him in water.
VICKIE: Do you know where?
Ms. BROWNE: I don't know where the water is close to there, but it's a big body of water.
VICKI: In Missouri, we do have a lot of rivers, a lot of...
Ms. BROWNE: But you have the Caw?
VICKI: Right.
Ms. BROWNE: So it's right on the Caw.
VICKI: On--on the Caw?
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, the Caw. The Caw meets the Missouri River.
VICKI: Do you have any idea, like--it's been two months, but any idea when they will find his body, or...
BRANDI: When will this case be solved?
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, honey, that is such a terrible--you know that even the Missouri River is such a terrible muddy, horrible river. I--I swear to God to you, there's no way.
VICKI: Any idea who these people are?
Ms. BROWNE: These were people--this--these were--were what you call...
WILLIAMS: Indigents.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, indigents, robbers, they were hobos.
VICKI: My dad didn't know them?
Ms. BROWNE: No. But they knew him. They had heard--because everybody knew your--knew him. Everybody knew what he did.
VICKI: Does somebody out there know something, but they just not come forward?
Ms. BROWNE: I don't think that these indigents are gonna tell anybody.
WILLIAMS: Would they--now those indigents would have to try to move that...
Ms. BROWNE: They would try to fence them. They would try to fence it.
WILLIAMS: Now would somebody could be--is there a place that maybe they can go looking at some pawn shops or--well, if it's a fence, then...
Ms. BROWNE: Do you know what I would do, though, if I were you? I would go to a place called h--or try to get a hold of a place called Helzbergs. Now they wouldn't deal in anything that was bad, but ask them if they haven't been approached. 'Cause these people are so stupid, they would go into a Zales or a reputable place--Do you see what I mean?--and try to fence it. And no reputable place, but--call a place called Helzbergs and see.
WILLIAMS: Go check on that name or anything--a derivation of that name in that city.
Ms. BROWNE: Yes.
VICKI: One more thing. Do--will they ever be caught?
Ms. BROWNE: I think so, because I think if you go this jewelry store...
VICKI: OK.
Ms. BROWNE: ...I think they will tell you that, 'Oh, yeah, these two guys came in,' you know, or maybe they might even have a camera--Do you see what I mean?--because sometimes these places date their tapes way back.
VICKI: Right.
BRANDI: At this store, is it gonna be in the Kansas City area, or the St. Louis area?
Ms. BROWNE: No, I'm pretty sure it's in the Kansas City area. That's why I was so convinced--see, that's why it hit me right between the eyes because, see, that's where I'm from. That's why it was so familiar to me.
VICKI: Oh. OK.
