• WHY did Adrian hire an Oklahoma based PI…

In 1999, Susan bought hightide.com to build a website for her travel agency in a small town in Oklahoma. The website was active until 2004, and mostly served the community with a useless repository of links. In 2007, Susan got a divorce and moved to Belize to open Fido’s, a restaurant known for it’s delicious food and bikini competition, which Susan would judge. Fido’s was a happening place in San Pedro’s for many years, but eventually closed down. Susan now lives in Newport Beach, CA, and still uses her hightide.com email.
