That was a name he knew, she had a high profile here,
maybe she might know other people from Seattle that
moved to Gotham between the last killing there and the
first one here, also her assistant - Christine McAbee.
 Definitely need to speak to them.  Pulling another
pad over, Connolly made a note to find the number and
call them and ask them for an informal meeting to
discuss what - and who - they might know.

He also wrote a note to check florists, starting
closer to the crime scenes and then radiating outward
to ask the employees who were working on the night of
the killing and the night before, to see if they know
anything about who might have bought white roses.

He checked the Seattle reports for any mention of the
murder weapon - did they have a description of a
possible weapon - shape, length, anything?  Then he
looked at the ME's report about the local killings for
the same information.
