...Many in Japan, even hardened reporters, bought into a myth that the police had known the location of Lucie's remains for months. Respected weeklies hinted that the remains had been left undisturbed in order to somehow trap Obara. The reality is, the police blew the murder case against Obara by failing to discover the body much sooner. Lucie's corpse was so badly decayed, the autopsy was unable to reveal her cause of death.

...grew up? More, perhaps? Would it have made any difference either way? Actually, all those nannies amounted to the daycare of the wealthy. In any case, the parental influences seemed perversely symmetrical: it was from his father that John Kennedy learned the womanizing, and from his mother that he somehow acquired his curious aversion to being touched...
