[PUP] T&T: Fatal voyage of Well Deserved

[Ron Rogers]

For those who can afford it, it would be wise to engage a private 
investigation firm to do a background check. The credit history of a person 
can tell you allot about that person - and I emphasize history. A criminal 
background check is of course helpful, except in the case of some youthful 
offenders in small localities where the crimes are not reported by the 
Sherriff.

A rigorous interview based upon the submission of a written personal history 
is often enough. Any time there is a conflict in the information provided or 
there are gaps - these are the things to hone in on. After reviewing a man's 
personal history with him, there were conflicts he could not explain. This 
man was a truly lovely fellow to be around. I highlighted these conflicts 
and sent his file to a higher headquarters asking them to pursue this 
matter. As a result, the FBI removed a rather charming, armed bank robber 
from the streets of Charlotte, NC. You can do this - never be in a hurry!
