I hope this is the case. Not sure why nobody (lawyers, cops?) vetted her statement before she made it, though.

She is only claiming he is a nice guy because he hasn’t been captured yet. He is still a threat to everyone and putting the blame on her. If she condemns him in any kind of way it could make the situation worse for other innocent people. She is trying not to set him off further.

I hate to break it to her, but Steve really is not a nice guy.

“Steve really is a nice guy... he is generous with everyone he knows. He was kind and loving to me and my children.”
