Anne was a nurse who worked for a kindly and prominent doctor in her hometown. He was friends with all of his employees and genuinely cared about them. So when Anne announced she was engaged to this man she’d only met three weeks earlier, he was more than a little concerned. Despite all her reassurances that he was a “good man” the doctor was upset when Anne couldn’t tell him anything about Tom’s work or history. She didn’t know herself. So the doctor hired a private investigator.

As it happens, Tom worked for the government – which at the time had assigned him to work on the top-secret Manhattan Project out at the Hanford Area. So the private investigator was stymied whenever he tried to find out any information on Tom – the government kept him from finding out anything. So the doctors fears were not assuaged. He feared the worst – that Tom was a serial killer or even worse, a spy. He straight up told Anne, “Don’t blame me if he turns out to be a serial killer and I never see you again – I’ve warned you not to marry him!” But Anne did anyway, and afterwards, found out what all the kerfuffle was about.
