She interviews Ann’s father Bob Nash for the first time without taking any notes. It’s not until the third episode that Camille even bothers to pull out a tape recorder. Her boss Frank Curry has faith she can do this job, so she couldn’t have proven herself totally inept in the past, right? You need to record everything, spell people’s names correctly, and take notes so that if you forget any details when you sit down to write your story (or if someone accuses you of making things up after it’s published), you have a record of what went down. I know that Camille is a mentally unwell alcoholic who doesn’t even remotely have her life together, but this is something that she would have learned at her first city council meeting as a cub reporter.
How can she even include this amazing detail now?

What? She didn’t even pull out her notebook to ask this woman how to spell her name, where she lives, and what her age is - all of the information that any good editor will ask for when she files her story. But then Camille does something shocking: She says, “Have a nice day,” and just drives off without taking any notes. The journalist in me thought, “What a sad story, but at least this’ll be great color for Camille’s article about how these murders have rattled the town.” You know, the whole reason she has returned to her hometown and the mother she hates. She adds, “I did the same for Ann,” another young girl from Wind Gap who was murdered ten months earlier. The woman explains that she doesn’t want Natalie’s mother coming into town and seeing the face of her daughter plastered all over every flat surface. The older woman tells her that she’s taking down posters featuring the face of Natalie Keene, the abducted girl who recently turned up dead in Wind Gap, Missouri.
In the second episode of HBO’s Sharp Objects, there’s a moment when Amy Adams, playing intrepid reporter Camille Preaker, pulls up to a woman on the side of the road and conducts an impromptu interview.
