It would seem that the ‘connection’ was always there, but no one was making it.
Joran was a jet-set gambler. Each time that an incident occurred, it happened in conjunction with a visit to a gambling casino. Everyone seems to assume that he was a ‘successful’ gambler. I think it was just the opposite.
He lost. Most of the time. If you don’t pay your gambling debts, you end up as fishfood.
NOW I know how Joran paid his debts. The girl he killed in the must recent murder case didn’t find info about Natalie on his LAPTOP. (that was common knowledge and the girl likely already knew.)
IMHO, What she found was that Joran was about to SELL HER into the sex slave trade. So, he killed her.
That is an interesting thought...
My thoughts exactly when this all came out!
