And, further to my post of the other day; if anyone wants any specific photos of a Browning GP-35 I'll be able to do some tomorrow.

Do we? The only things we have (unless I've forgotten something relevant) are what she wrote on the registration card. Lets not forget that she even spelled her name at least two different ways so I don't think we can put much faith in anything she wrote on it.

We don't know that she had any connections to where she gave as her address - anyone could write down any name and address but if they don't have documentation to prove it then it's meaningless. Verlaine may have no more relevance to her than perhaps being somewhere she passed through as a child on a family holiday for all we know.

In my opinion, people need to go back to first principles and start afresh; in reality there is very, very little we know to be provable facts about this case. We know that she was found shot dead in a hotel room with a few clothes, a Browning GP35 assembled from random parts in her hand and some ammo in a leather briefcase. None of that tells us a whole hell of a lot.

"According to a police document the Plaza woman tried to call two phone numbers in Belgium from the hotel. The numbers were identical except for one digit." Mystery at the Oslo Plaza

She was clearly trying to call someone there, for example, and she clearly had some knowledge of the area (while the address is fake, it is clearly based on real information - there is a Rue de la Station in Verlaine, she provided a realistic Belgian phone number, she provided an actual postcode from Luxembourg). Part of her gun was made in Belgium. Just to be clear, I'm not saying she was Belgian, I'm only saying that she had some ties to that area (maybe she lived there temporarily).

If I'm right (as I said, I submitted a potential match to The Doe Network and they submitted it to LE), she was just a runaway (not from Belgium)...

Obviously, as I said, identifying the company name wouldn't add much, because she was most probably not working for that company anyway.
