Yes, the druggies, who think they know who did it, might well be all abuzz.

That's the problem with druggies --- they're not going to want to go to the police and reveal they're druggies and have an association with certain types --- plus they wouldn't be the socially responsible types who worry about society. They're more likely to worry only where their next fix will come from --- and they might not like to bite the hand that feeds them.

I agree. If Wells owed money, or had seen something which could incriminate some criminal organization's members, I think they would and could make an example out of him, putting the word out to their druggie customers, w/o fear that the pathetic druggie customers would say a word in public.
