However, Birkitt also lived with Robert (Joe) Halderman who has been charged with trying to extort $2 million from Letterman. Halderman was a former CBS news producer; he has been issued with a temporary order of protection and cannot go near David Letterman. He has pleaded not guilty.
Is Stephanie Birkitt the one he used to call on the telephone from his desk each night? He used to refer to her as an intern. In later episodes, we would see her walk down the aisle giving dinner passes to people who won the weird quizzes. Is that the same girl? And, if so, is she involved in the extortion plot at all?
