TODD MATTHEWS: How did you meet Christine?

JIM IDEMA: I met Christine when she contacted me a little over a year ago via a website called Freelancedesigners.com to write a book on her mom's case. There was already a book in the works ("Two Gone Missing") but she felt it was more focused on the Stump case and added her mom's as a gratuity since
they seemed to be linked. She was after something that focused on her mom. She contacted me because I am based in Michigan and apparently liked my credentials. Eventually we dumped the idea of a book because though "Two Gone Missing" didn't hit her mom's case as much as she'd like, we thought there would be a conflict in marketing strategies (you know, two books on basically the same subject?).

TODD: How long have you been working on the script?
