Thanks, but a lot of credit also has to go to the web.

Back in the old days, if I saw something that piqued my interest; I'd have to remember anything that may have been related or just take the partial info, unless it was something which would've motivated me to visit my local library and then, only if I lived anywhere near the event would it have done any good.

Now, I can see a small blurb about a bill which mentions a generic suicide and using the power of the web, I can learn the names of the parties involved and familiarize myself with most of the public record. Heck in this case, the neighborhood is mentioned and there was a single reference to an intersection, but using the web, I could look-up their phone numbers and addresses which showed me that they were across from one another.

This simple fact, though the entire backstory would generally be enough, but by learning that she was right out his front window, it explained why she felt that she was under constant surveillance. In reality, his camera probably couldn't have been pointed any other way.

Once again, thanks for the kind words and when I find things that cause me to do additional research, I will continue to share some of the more interesting. After all, quite often it's the backstory which is the more dramatic.
