Cashier: It was awkward; I mean they seemed scared.
Special Agent: So what made you suspicious?
Cashier: Like, the older one was really jittery. And the younger one, I'm guessing maybe 13? Or 14? But she was dressed like an adult.
Technically Trained Special Agent: Hey; I got it.
Special Agent: Hmm; We can't make her out. Let’s run the girl’s photo and can you show me some video from outside?
Technically Trained Special Agent: It’s an SUV. I can't make out the plate.
Special Agent: ...Then we got the video from the gas station this morning.
FBI Employee: Ok I'll get on it.
Special Agent: Thank you.
Staff Operations Specialist: Mike, we’ve got a hit on the missing girl.

Special Agent: So has she ever run away before?
Mother: Yes. A few times.
Special Agent: And in those few times, was law enforcement ever involved?
Father: Yeah... They were involved a couple of times.

Special Agent: Have you guys ever noticed any adult males communicating with her through social media or her regular cell phone?
Mother: No. Not that we know of.
Operational Support Technician: Hey Mike, check this out. A surveillance camera at a nearby business captured an SUV and license plate number.
Special Agent: Lucie Tereza Novakova.
Operational Support Technician: She doesn't match anyone at the gas station.
Lucie Novakova (In Czech): Její přítel ho občas používá.
Language Specialist: She bought the car for her granddaughter and says the boyfriend uses it.
Special Agent: Can I get their names and cell phone numbers?
Language Specialist (In Czech): …čísla mobilních telefonů?
Lucie Novakova (In Czech): Ano, Ano. (Translates to “yes, yes” in English.)
Special Agent: I'm gonna need to get your permission to search your vehicle.
Is that ok?

Special Agent: That's it right there, they're talking about roses. That’s commonly a term they use in human trafficking. Those numbers add up.
Special Agent: Excuse me one second.
Technically Trained Special Agent: Bobby's criminal history. It includes weapons violations and an assault on a Police Officer. His IP address places him at this motel.
