What About Her Name?
She gave a range of birthdays, and there was an interesting pattern in the years she mentioned. Her last names tended to either begin with an l or have an l in their first syllable which could mean that she had a last name with a prominent l. She also exhibited strange behaviours like requesting to change rooms frequently and moving furniture. Other evidence suggested she was being very frugal, only eating porridge for breakfast and not deviating from a low cost breakfast. A norwegian woman drank al alcohol or returned from walks with muddy boots. She requested changes around her hotel room even though she was carrying more than 13 thousand dollars in cash - but staff didn't know this until later.
