This has always puzzled me: why did Ms Kimball think that "re:
Brooklyn Bridge" would have held any significance for Budd?  Despite
the alleged size of the Linda abduction event -- many stalled cars,
hysterical witnesses running about, etc -- it never made the media.
No newspaper reports, no television coverage.  How did Ms Kimball know
that Budd would have heard about the Brooklyn Bridge incident and
eagerly pluck her envelope out from amongst the hundreds he receives
each year?

Another question which someone who lives in New York might be able to
answer for me: Are there any surveillance cameras on the Brooklyn
Bridge?  Most public bridges and freeways are covered by video
cameras to monitor traffic congestion, weather conditions, accidents,
and so on.  Has	Budd or anyone else checked to see whether any major
traffic incidents were recorded or documented on the night of Linda's
alleged abduction?

Another question for our friends in New York: Isn't the Brooklyn
Bridge the major landmark friendly New Yorkers try to sell to
unsuspecting tourists?  ;-)

Thanks,
