I got one letter from a husband and wife who said when they get home and they've had a bad day, they pop in the Best of Elmo video.

The chances of someone being abducted are virtually nil," he says, adding that Chungking Mansions "doesn't deserve a bad light because of what happened [to Ashekian]."
