The shooter knows he's got our attention, Van Zandt speculates, - he gets all the confirmation he needs whenever he turns on the television - and hints like the carefully placed tarot card mean...
...Penn) Sherlock, 50. Penn is Mikey Boy's brother (the Travelers go by nicknames, like One-Eyed Pete and Curly Joe, since they share the same dozen surnames). Penn began his childhood in a tent but graduated to a mobile home and then a brick house--a common pattern among the more successful Travelers. In Murphy Village, the rows of trailer homes are suddenly interrupted by ornate pink and white mansions...
