She's 25. In spring of 2009 she lived in London, near Fanshawe College. Met Rafferty on Plenty of Fish.

RaffertyLFP: Reid first encountered Rafferty online late in April 2009 - they exchanged phone numbers

Their online communications started at the end of April, 2009. They started exchanging texts.

RaffertyLFP: After online conversation Reid and Rafferty decided to go to a stag and doe near Hamilton about May 9

Rafferty asked her to go to a stag and doe with him near the Hamilton area. She accepted. This was in early May.

This would be the Stag and Doe that TM/Tamtam testified to yesterday, then.

So, Rafferty's good, long time friend, TM, possibly met this POF date of MTR's.

JMO

She was asked to go to the Stag and Doe, but said no, as she wasn't feeling well. Said it seemed weird to ask her. He seemed upset. She worked at Staples. He came into the store to say hi, brought a coffee. He asked why she wasn't more excited to see him. She was busy.

6 degree's of separation...................>

It really is a small town isn't it? I wonder if he hit on TM's POF profile too but she was in a relationship with JG at that point so probably didn't keep up with it.

MOO

All I can say is OMG... What a disturbed individual. I am completely disgusted!! What a psychopath. He reminds me of Bernardo. Totally thought that he got away with this and that TLM would take the fall.

I am still questioning why TLM all of the sudden said she killed Tori. All of this makes me believe he helped for sure.
