For months, I have believed that Carolyn's presence in D.C. was more than mere coincidence regarding Chandra's disappearance. I usually end up visualizing either a threatened, or real confrontation between Chandra and Blowdry/wife because Carolyn is in town.
In your usual fashion, Dogbyte12, you have presented a very plausible, and cohesive chain of events. Great work, and thanks again!
