Interesting Facts

• He and Shauna were high school sweethearts. Becca was in high school with them but ran in a different crown, being a self-proclaimed wheeze. He and Shauna were The Item - homecoming queen and quarterback, but they scattered after college. Shauna and Becca ran into each other in New York, reconnected, and became best friends.
• In high school, he and Shauna were known as Shaunbar and were The Couple. Becca said she was The Very Serious Student - honor society, class valedictorian, wheeze.
• His non-alibi was meeting a friend, Clint Wetz, for drinks and food at Tippler’s for a couple of hours after he closed On Trend around 7 or 7:15. He then went home, turned on the screen to watch a vid, and fell asleep.
• His parents will have been married 30 years the next month, he had a solid if average middle-class upbringing, with no particular religious affiliation and no criminal but a standard arrest and release at a college protest when he’d been nineteen. He played football in middle school, then in high school, but not in college. Solid grades but for some problems in advanced math classes. Four years at the University of Florida, switching his major after one semester from sociology to business management. He moved back to New York after graduation, living with his parents in Brooklyn for a few months while working in retail. Moved into Manhattan, got his own place, with a male roommate, until he worked his way up to assistant manager, then took an apartment on his own. He’d stayed with On Trend and gotten regular promotions and raises. For the past three years, he’d lived in his current apartment, and for two years and three months, cohabbing with Becca.
• He, Becca, Clint, Shauna, Erin, Angie Decker, and a few others who were in relationships went to see ChiChi Lopez dance at her club, Delights.
• Better-than-average student, part-time work during the school summers and breaks. Responsible. Football quarterback, team captain, lettered in high school there.
• He pushed out one of his former salespeople, Sharlene Wilson, about eighteen months ago; he suggested she resign her part-time position and take professional parent status instead, since the professional mother stipend would have been more than her monthly pay from On Trend, especially after he cut her hours to just a handful, hiring another part-time (male) employee - a “managerial decision.”

YANNI

• Becca and Greg either lived on the second (Chapter 7) or the third floor (Chapter 22) and either sixteen minutes, twelve seconds from the D&D (Chapter 7) or closer than Lopez (Chapter 11), who lived five blocks from the D&D (Chapter 9).
