Question G

[Jonetta]

Morgan and Lance learn that Chelsea had visited an auto repair shop where Harold Burns, a sex offender, worked. His behavior towards Morgan was menacing and aggressive but Sheriff King seemed to side with Burns when he complained about her. What did you make of King’s actions at the time?

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

He was an awful man but I didn't think he was responsible for Chelsea's disappearance. I was actually quite surprised when it was revealed what he and his brother were up to.

Sheriff King was concerned with his department's legal situation more than the case itself. He didn't want to be in legal trouble. However, he may also have been concerned about Morgan and Lance ruining any evidence by obtaining it under protest by Burns' lawyer.
