David,

Thanks for your time Monday. As agreed, now we know our con’s real name was Jonah McKenna I’ll step up my efforts on the dormant offshore and Swiss bank accounts, and engage a specialty consultancy with expertise in that area.

My immediate priority will be to find the sister, since Rebecca McKenna is almost certainly her brother’s next of kin, and without her, our ability to engage meaningfully with any financial institution still holding assets in Jonah McKenna’s name will be severely limited.

That said, Ms McKenna continues to prove elusive – not least because we can’t be sure if she is still going by that name. Tarek Osman tells me his team have made no discernible progress with the international medical and nursing organizations, and I’m afraid law enforcement is unlikely to be much help either: even if the Brits decide to pursue a prosecution against Guy (which personally I doubt, given the lapse of time, his age when the crime was committed, and the mental health issues he was clearly laboring under at the time) I query whether the Met will think it’s value for money spending taxpayer dollars running the sister down. They already have sufficient circumstantial evidence confirming McKenna’s identity.

But there are still other options: I’m reaching out to my contacts at Interpol and in the specialist MissPers sector, to see if they might be able to assist. With that in mind, I’m in the process of organizing a range of high-quality age-progression images (i.e. with and without the glasses, with her original red hair color and with other dyes and lengths). We just have to hope we get a hit.

In the meantime, enjoy Jackson Hole. The weather forecast over the next few days is looking good, snow-wise.

Best wishes and happy holidays to the family,

Bill
