of the situation now, but thinks that Laurel is young enough to give in
to a bit of pressure if it is applied right. Repeated calls to Mr. Dulio
Bono have not yet made contact with him. I will continue to try.
Karen and I talked about Buddy's fascination with the Fire Ser-
vice. We decided that it would be wise to contact the New York City
Fire Service. I called the fire marshal in charge of investigations at:
New York Fire Department
[TELEPHONE NUMBER]
I talked for quite a while with them and left all the information.
One inspector said he had just been talking to some officers that report-
ed a big white male impersonating a fire officer. He would investigate
and get back to me with any information.
I then called Discover Card headquarters and made contact with
the security department. I talked to N at [TELEPHONE NUMBER].
We soon discovered that Marguerite did indeed have a card. Back in
1987, both she and Buddy were authorized users of the card number.
But, later in 1987 she had his name removed from the card. Through
1988 and 1989 there was a tremendous amount of activity on the card.
N stated there were somewhere around 235 postings and notations.
Credit limit at that time was $2500. Then, in 1989 the card saw a flurry
of activity that obviously got way out of hand. Many of the charges
were for gas, motels, and other travel expenses up and down the East
Coast throughout the summer. Charges got to be over $6000. Toward
the end of summer the card was revoked by Discover and collection
talks began. On October 4, 1989, Marguerite Caruso paid Discover a
check for $6489 to cover past charges. I asked N what the last charges
on the card were. She had two:
Budget Rent A Car, Orlando: $94.50, November 13, 1989
Budgetel Inn, Tampa: $512.18, October 23, 1989
These looked very promising. I first called Budget Rental and
talked to S [TELEPHONE NUMBER]. She looked in the computers
and could not find anything for that date. She only had a transaction for
Paul Caruso from Mansfield, Massachusetts, renting
a car in Orlando and returning it to Tampa on De-
