But what was her name?

The Mystery of the Picnic laid out in Rotorua has been solved. Some guy called Paul (never trust a Paul) tried to lure a girl out to the lakes for Nefarious Porpoises but she said no. Then the media descended and he got a bit embarrassed that he’d forgotten to go back for his picnic. Finally he fessed up.

On a more positive note, she did go out with him. Police have stamped the file “case closed” and are now turning their attention to other matters, such as the Lindbergh Baby, crack houses in Rotorua and whether they can imprison Rodney Hide simply because he wears a yellow jacket.

UPDATE: Turns out she’s an Emily. Oh well.
