...often, I've had the experience of finding that a certain group dynamic cannot be recreated out of context: that my FOP group never felt the same at "reunions" as it did in the woods, that the people who'd felt like soulmates at summer camp had less to say to each other when united at a pizza place in October.

The suspect "needs to take the first step," says David Knowlton, deputy assistant director of the FBI. "Then we'll talk with him." Applin says he gave Naughton several opportunities to back out of their planned encounter; at one point, Applin even joked that he had told the L.A.P.D., FBI and CIA about the dirty pictures Naughton had put on display.
