I then left her room through the window. In the morning I got down to the office and then called Jan Matson. I asked her to come in that afternoon so I could give her all the information I had gathered with regard to the case.

When she got to the office, I told her to have a seat. I then pro- ceded to tell her about her fiance's new life. I could tell as I went on that she was getting more and more shocked.

I asked if she wanted me to set up a meeting between Jennings and her, but she was still rather shocked and declined. I drove her home and then went back to the office.

I called Cathy and told her of my meeting with her ex-bride-to-be. She had figured it right. We decided that it was best that they call the marriage off, at least for the time being. I agreed to bring Miss Matson to the hotel room the next afternoon.

I managed to get Jan Matson to the hotel room about one o'clock the next afternoon.

Cathy greeted Jan warmly. Jan seemed to be rather amazed that this good-looking blonde was really her fiance.

I started to leave, but Cathy asked me to stay awhile. Jan soon be- gan to realize that this was how her would-be husband wanted to live. After a while, she also realized that she still loved Cathy as a person and that they could remain friends.

I then excused myself, as my job was over. Later I learned that they hadn't been married, but were living together as "sisters" in Cathy's apartment. I could hardly believe all this had really happened. It was certainly a bizarre ending to what had started out as a routine mis- sing person case. It was truly my most unusual case.

P.S. If you're ever in Chicago and need a private eye, look me up. I'm listed in the phone books.
