Investigators from Thames Valley Police are scheduled to travel across the pond to sit down for an informal chat with Giuffre’s brother and sister-in-law, Sky and Amanda Roberts, according to The Times of London. The two are reportedly not direct witnesses, so they will not be formally interviewed.
