I got the site to write an article on him and his method, hopefully we might get a clue from someone and maybe even warn a future bride whose groom might go missing on the wedding night. But the chances of the second thing happening were bleak. After all, right now the would-be bride would be at www.happyhearts.com.

A hit, on 25th January, 2007. Some girl googled "My boyfriend does not like being photographed." Debra met Ray on 25th October, 2006. Ray was a writer, did not like being photographed. It could be a coincidence but no harm in following the lead. Seven hours and no sleep later, I landed up in Debra's town. Nice town, bad jetlag. Ahhh.

I clicked some photos of Ray and sent them to the four girls. 24 hours later, positive match. Two of them wanted to come here and confront the guy. I refused. I couldn’t allow my clients to interfere. They paid me to do the job and their coming here would had ruined it all. They would definitely not get an answer to their why.

I coerced Debra to play it on. She wanted out immediately. Give me one week. That's all I asked from her.

The cat and mouse game started now. I kept a 24 hour vigil on Ray. 2 days passed. This guy was pretty cautious. 3 more days passed. Damn, this man was leaving me with no choice. He did not make any mistakes. I might have to confront him myself after the week got over.

A slow town, a different time zone and a boring vigil. But how could I doze off? How could I make this mistake? I was a detective, dammit.

I did not see the girl going into his apartment. How could I? I was dozing off. But I did see the girl coming out. Dark sunglasses and a hat hid most of her face. I had to let her go. I couldn’t follow her and leave Ray here. Ray came out 3 hours later. Pretty slick.
