Re: Elizabeth's murder

[sistermagpie]

Oh, I get that's the idea. Although it seems unlikely they had time to get this guy into the hotel room (obviously they'd have told her which guy to go after) but no time to know anything about his personal life, since that's usually why you pick the guy.

Unless this was the only guy who had this information and so Elizabeth just went after him blind, which is pretty risky. Obviously.
