For the most part we're still hanging too.
No clue about the blinds. But as of right before Thanksgiving, Katie and M and the kids were still in the apartment. Stake out verified.
Despite efforts, there has been no contact with her since before the Halloween party.
M's fb page suddenly vanished. I find this suspicious as his myspace acct is still there. (although he doesn't appear to be using it) He has a twitter acct which has been inactive for a few months. I found another social networking site he has enrolled onto..........haven't made an acct to check that one. He uses the exact same email accts when making accts in these places. So now I just do searches with those instead of his name which is much too common.
No clue at all what is going on with them.
Sorry, not much of an update.
