I am not a political science student any longer, I am a retired murder trial attorney and so it is Connie Converse's disappearance that fixates me. In murder it is true that dead men tell no tales. But they do stink, and if she committed self-murder the murderer cannot disappear the body. We know when she left, we know where she left from, we know vaguely where she was going, and we know what she was driving when she left. Somewhere between Ann Arbor, Michigan and Los Angeles, California there is a Volkswagen Beetle with a body inside it.
