As it was, Trazelli was in fact, in his nightclub the night Detective Walsh paid a visit and was tipped off by his bouncers and assorted guards that there seemed to be an officer poking around. He decided to humor himself and asked to see this officer.

“Hello, Mr. Trazelli. I’m Detective Walsh of New Mexico.”
“Welcome Detective! How may I help you?” It was always best to appear complacent the first time you meet an officer of the law.

“Well, if I may sit down.”
“Of course!”
“I have been investigating a missing persons case from the Pine Ridge Adoption Agency. Are you familiar with it?”
“I donate there regularly! What happened? Who’s missing?”
“Miss Petunia Hooper.”
“The manager! That’s absurd! How did this occur?”
“We are investigating. I have record of your charitable contributions and I was wondering why you had given extra about a month ago?”
“I received a call from Miss Hooper saying she had extra mouths to feed and would I give more?”
“That’s it?”
“She pressed me, wouldn’t take no for an answer.”
