Oh yes, it is very logical and would explain acknowledged cooperation by Canadian authorities. And, (sorry for not remembering the poster's name) that in Ohio, notaries are not required to enter all signatures in a notary book....ERGO, there were no documents to be had, because Rita N did not retain a copy and/or did not enter it into a notary book. (I believe Rita knew that, and did not roll over until the "faxed copies" from Canada border agents were shown to her by Ohio LE.) Dhaaang, sometimes I hate this case because my mind is exploding with ideas on how they did this. No paperwork trail, so they thought LE would never find out....but they had to produce something at the border. Gotttcha W4's and you were clever like foxes...uh huh! (I bet they handed everything over in a nice neat folder, never realizing it was going to incriminate them.) PS, if I'm wrong, ok. But got to admit it is a very real and intriguing possibility.
