Despite petty complaints that he was not putting aside enough time to meet citizens or plunge into politics along the way (an odd protest from a region where he is not politically popular), the vacationing President quite fittingly was seeing parts of America at its unspoiled best. All too soon, he would have to assume once again the burdens of office.

The day before John Tupper died, a model named Cheryl Corey, 20, went out on a date with her boyfriend, Scott Shepard.

What was odd was that Cheryl Corey worked for the My Fair Lady agency and until recently lived in the same apartment building as Melanie Cain...
