Wild Ideas. Hunt and Liddy explored with him methods of drugging a man to make him incoherent. The three discussed placing on the steering wheel of the victim's car a drug that enters the body directly through the skin, but that idea was abandoned as too chancy.

Glover clutches a Pennsylvania title of ownership for the Plymouth. Witnesses say that Glover was apparently carrying out a routine check of the car...
...Pennsylvania title from the car lists a Trenton, NJ. address. Six N.Y.P.D. officers head for Trenton; the address is phony. Others head for Philadelphia to check out Nelson Hernandez, listed as the car's owner. They learn that he has bought at least five cars in recent weeks; all the addresses on the papers are false. Back in New York, the police check out a dozen possible Frankies and are convinced their man is Frankie Segarra, a small-time pusher. Other officers trace a dog-vaccination certificate that they found in the Plymouth to the girl friend...
