The R/P later admitted she knew the male, as she had borrowed $800 from the husband and wife earlier in the year. She could only provide very limited information about the situation and advised she wanted action taken. After contacting the other half, it was determined that the R/P had actually made arrangements to meet with the male earlier, but cancelled on him.
