From the transcript
And one of the things that we've just done is we've just hired a brand new division chief for the Missing and Murdered Unit that's got a different vision for the program. She— Sabrina Desatell, she's sitting here in the audience, and we just selected her. She's coming from Washington State. She's an assistant special agent in charge with us right now, and she also comes with a tribal background, being a public safety director for the Colville Tribe. So She's bringing a different perspective to this unit, and that's what I'm looking for to bring in to make sure that we're refocusing the resources to what we're supposed to be doing with this.
