Interesting Facts

• Eve used her master card to check Cicely’s appointments from the day before. She found that Cicely had been seeing George Hammett and had a dinner date with him on May 2, 2058 at Robert’s; he was her last appointment of the day. They left the restaurant in a Rapid Cab.
  • Hammett said they spoke of marriage.
• Cicely’s last call came in at 11:30 p.m. but she erased the transmission and the recording.
• Roarke said he knew Cicely as a light social acquaintance, some business dealings, though mostly through her former husband. Cicely Towers, Marco Angelini, and George Hammett, were on the board of one of Roarke’s divisions (Mercury).

  • Cicely called Randall Slade just after midnight the night she was murdered; she called from a public phone.

• File number: 47801-T
• She prosecuted the case against David Palmer during his trial three years ago.
