“Who filed this complaint?” I asked.

“Samuel Vance,” Mrs.

Gable read off the screen.

“He was a senior inspector in the county engineering department for over a decade.”

“Is he still working for the county?” I asked.

She typed his name into the personnel database and shook her head.

“No, it looks like he resigned suddenly five years ago, right around the time of your husband’s accident.”
