Interesting Facts

• He and Gwen dated in college, 2055-2056, and she collected over 12K worth of jewelry from him before setting him up to be able to break it off.
• Gwen dated him because she needed her parents to believe she had a solid boyfriend from a good family, one who respected her vow to stay pure until marriage. She set him up by putting some sleeping pills in his beer and paying an LC who’d lost her license (so a UC) to get into bed with him and take pictures. She threw those up on the internet and she had her tearful breakup. As a bonus, she didn’t have to go back to college because she couldn’t face him.
• He asked Eve if Gwen had killed somebody, because he read the book and saw the vid, and therefore knew she was a murder cop.
• He knew he was set up - his great-uncle Stu was a cop and tracked down the LC and learned that Gwen had paid her two thousand dollars to come into his dorm room, get naked, and make the recording. Gwen told her he'd be zonked out and it was just a prank.
• Stu wanted him to press charges, but he just wanted it over.
• He lived with five other people, including his girlfriend, in a group house and was working on his final project when Ariel Byrd was killed. He was in grad school for engineering, and studied until about 1:30, when he and Holly went to bed.
• He took a gap year after college to get some work experience.
• He said Gwen taught him a valuable lesson when she screwed him over: “something might look bright and shiny on the outside, but the structure’s what counts.”
