Under the extenuating circumstances following the death of Elijah's parents, the detectives decided to wait to post pone questioning Elijah. The death of his parents were insidious indeed, and many had reason to suspect the boy. On the night of his parent's death, Elijah was presumably at his friend Terry's house for a party. Later intel suggested that Terry was with his parents out of town that night, and had not seen Elijah recently. This led the detectives to ponder why Elijah would lie about his whereabouts. The detectives did not allow themselves to indulge in any outlandish hypotheses until they got a full statement from Elijah. Detective Tom did have a chance to analyze Elijah prior to the set interrogation, and he noticed strange tendencies. Elijah would rapidly tap his foot when the topic of his friend Terry came up. He would avert his eyes to the left when asked to describe his day prior to his parent's being murdered. The signs were small, almost passable, but they were there.

Indeed, the text tells us that Esther Lederer, the legal author of "Ann Landers," died in 2002 without passing on the rights to her pen name—
which is also the name of her column—to anyone else ("she chose not to have another writer assume the pen name"). Since she did not allow any other writer to use the "Ann Landers" name, we can assume she didn't pass on the column's rights either.
