The absences, the "far away" treatment misdirection, and the real name

texture · ? Nov YDAU

• When: the absences c. Apr YTSDB; reported ? Nov YDAU
• What: Per Notkin: Joelle attended neither JOI's suicide, nor his L'Islet-Province funeral (an expired passport), nor his will-reading (though she was a beneficiary). She is now, Notkin swears, in an elite dependency-treatment facility "someplace far, very far away" that not even her closest friends can locate — a claim that flatly contradicts Notkin's own scene-121 knowledge that Joelle is in a local half-house, and best read as Notkin shielding Joelle's whereabouts from the U.S. interrogators. Notkin closes by giving up Joelle's real name: Lucille Duquette, daughter of Earl or Al Duquette of extreme southeast KY. SOLE source for the name.
