Lance and Eric, thank you SO much for your encouragement regarding the need for PATIENCE. Your reminders are more appreciated than you know. It really DOES help to be reminded. Thank you!
Cas, I've written on your thread. I am going to take Beatrice's recommendation and look at Yellowrose's threads. Haven't looked at them for quite some time.
............(drum roll).............The gauntlet has been dropped by CW. .........and actually I DO have an interesting development to report. Just spoke with the forensic scientist about an hour ago and he said there is one perfect print on the book (very detailed, like it was taken with an inkblot) and 2-3 others that he may be able to get reasonable detail on. He told me exactly which finger it was, but I am not disclosing that here in case there are prying eyes watching. I am taking the items with prints from the prime suspect (BMF) to the forensic scientist on thursday afternoon. Don't know how long it will take him to check my sample for a match...........Also, yesterday I found my copy of our purchase agreement with lots of BMF's (he was our realtor for the sale) printing on it. I can use this to have the handwriting analysis done if the fingerprinting doesn't tell us anything.
My sister says that I need to turn this story into a mystery novella titled something like "The Spurned Bunny Boiler".......or something along those lines. .....Actually, I think the title should have more alliteration, so if anyone can think of a synonym for "spurned" that starts with a "b", please let me know. ..............or if you have ideas for other titles, I'd love to hear them!
I'm rushing out the door to play table tennis now. XH e-mailed me today to say "Don't try anything fancy. Just hit the ball. You can beat the $hit out of that 9 year old girl!".......The pressure is on.
