On December 24, Christmas Eve, just before starting to load my things into Gram’s car, I called the DMV posing as Larry Currie, the name of a real investigator with the Los Angeles County Welfare Fraud Unit. Giving that unit’s Requester Code, along with Currie’s PIN, birth date, and driver’s license number, I requested Soundexes on Eric Heinz, Joseph Wernle, and Joseph Ways.
