Kat and I wondered if there was really a mix-up on the birth certificate, or did Lance Mann want his son to carry the family name of Lang. We also wondered if his wife Susannah knew about it. We were pretty sure she must have known, otherwise why didn’t she fuss over it and insist that her son have their last name? After all, all throughout his growing up years, school gatherings, birthday parties and so on, their friends and neighbors must have asked her a dozen times or more why their son’s last name was different from theirs. We were very curious what her answer would have been.
Something else we wondered: was Mr. Mann, Nick’s most likely birth-father, as nice as Nadia said he was. And if so, was it then a date rape as our client, Anita Sinclair, so boldly and emotionally told us, or was it consensual?
We both agreed this case was getting more and more confusing, but yet very challenging and mysterious.
Now we had two suspects for murder and blackmail. How far would a father and son go to cover up their true identity? Would they commit murder to save face?
