BBM:
There were definitely 2 different television interviews. One was with a local female reporter, Leah Pezzetti, and the other was with Inside Edition.
@Richmond made an incredibly sharp observation when he/she noted that RT demonstrated virtually identical emotional responses at almost the exact same moments in his comments to both reporters.
What I also find interesting is that there are zero comments made by RT pertaining to BT's mood or her conversation that day as they were taking their stroll through the desert. What were the last words BT said to him before they parted ways out there? Did she appear to be in a good mood/happy that day? These are things that people almost always recollect and relate in their reporting of events.
RT has not commented publicly on either of those things.
Instead, there was a vague comment about her going ahead because she needed/wanted to get back to the RV (insinuating that she was the one who decided to split up out there, not him).
I'd love to know whether it was RT's idea to show off the love notes she stuck under his pillow or if the reporter suggested it.
I do not for one moment believe the reporter randomly thought to ask RT if he happened to have any love notes she'd written him that they could display on his coffee table.
JMO.
