CANTON REPOSITORY REPORTER TODD PORTER: Have authorities given you any indication if you're a suspect?

BOBBY: I mean they continue to say that I'm not a suspect but I, I mean, I would be dumb and naive to think that they weren't treating me as a suspect by different things I've had to go through in the past couple days.

CANTON REPOSITORY REPORTER TODD PORTER: Have the, have any authorities told you that you've been cleared in this, in this investigation?

BOBBY: No they, they, they have not told me that I have been cleared but as like I said, on the media, I mean they said to the media that I, me nor my wife are suspects but uh, I don't feel that we've actually been treated as that was 100 percent true.

CANTON REPOSITORY REPORTER TODD PORTER: Have you watched much of the coverage? Is it difficult for you to watch the coverage, uh, the national coverage of this case?

BOBBY: Uh, I try not to watch it. I mean there's times where relatives of mine call and they're like, you have to turn this on and see this. I mean... It, like the people that are commenting on this stuff, they have no idea what's going on or they have mis information or parts of the facts and just, it's just rediculous. I mean they're doing this as, as news entertainment but it's not, it's terrible, it's crazy.

I mean, I'm a coach, you know, I haven't been able to coach at all this week. I mean, I know that's not the most imporantant thing, it's not, but that's just one of the normal things I haven't been able to do.

CANTON REPOSITORY REPORTER TODD PORTER: When you think of having a normal day, how far away do you think that is for you? How many days away from having a normal day do you think you are?

BOBBY: Honestly, I don't know. I have no idea what a normal days is even resembles right now.

CANTON REPOSITORY REPORTER TODD PORTER: How well do you know Patty Porter and Jessie's sister, Whitney and Audrey?

BOBBY: I know them through my, you know, as being family member's of my son, you know, being Jessies' family members but I mean... I don't know like great detail about 'em.

CANTON REPOSITORY REPORTER TODD PORTER: Have you had much communications with them since Thursday?
