I wouldn't try to explain it at all, since I haven't seen him on TV even once.

Maybe you need to spend more time looking at the direct statements of people who are involved in this case. Amber's father is involved b/c he has been a sort of spokesman for her, has taken calls for her, has been keeping her child for her due to her problems related to this case, and has helped in the search for Laci.
