A couple of minor bumps in his teens: shoplifting, defacing public property (graffiti), assault - charges dropped when witnesses corroborated he’d punched a guy who’d gotten his jollies grabbing a female by the tits and dry-humping her without consent.^[3]

Captain Martin Greenleaf
- Killed with a police-issue stunner, staged as a suicide
- Mirrored Louis Noy’s self-termination
- Robards killed him

His cohab was part of Beth Greenleaf’s women’s group, and she was with them when he murdered Greenleaf.^[3]
They’d lived in that apartment for nearly a year.^[2]
Born in Queens, graduated from high school and then two years in a trade school to receive certification in vehicle mechanics.
He’d worked at Kenner’s nearly thirteen years, beginning part-time through high school, with the last five years as salaried head mechanic.
He boosted his certification every two or three years and carried them for commercial vehicles, heavy equipment, and motorcycles.
He used part of his solid salary to buy classic cars, then rebuild and restore them and sell them, pulling in an impressive income there.
He used part of his income to add to his mother’s income as shift manager and head server at an eatery in Queens, and contributed to the cost of tuition for both his sisters. He helped pay for his elder sister’s wedding two years prior.
His precious cohab was for eleven months, when he was 24.
