Publisher's Synopsis
Gone, But Where? Episode Four Case of the Puzzling Similes Noble Alan Palmer was a resident of Portsmouth during the "asked and answered" serial murder case. He followed the case in the newspaper and on TV. He was envious of the notoriety that media gave the killer. He wanted that fame for himself. But the thought of killing someone sickened him. He thought of his name, Noble Alan Palmer (NAP), then it hit him-Napper. He would become a serial kidnapper. He would be known as Nappy. When following the "asked and answered" case, Nappy became familiar with all the officers at the Portsmouth PD. He admired Chief Masterson and Tim Slone and Skiv Van Dyke and Keegan O'Regan. He looked forward to staying ahead of them in investigating his abductions. Nappy left a signature note at the scene of each kidnapping. The first note contained a cryptic phrase and three letters with a comma separating the first from the last two, "Warning, no house is like a home. -G, BW." A next note included a different phrase, but there were two letters before the comma. The conclusion was made that Nappy was planning quite a few abductions.
