finding out who shed guy is wasn't too hard for an accomplished autistic  savant such as myself. the Justin D listed at marky's mom's address was a red herring. that was too easy. comparing the list of justins age 25-40 in Marky's hometown vs the ones in Fairfield, CT and the Mass towns listed in this thread https://web.archive.org/web/20231222145337/https://endchan.org/agatha2/res/26146.html#26963 ended up being the correct approach as tedious as it was. of course, finding a Justin of an assumed correct age who was listed as living in markys town and in one of the Massachusetts towns mentioned in that achive wasn't nearly enough to prove anything. surprisingly enough the "smoking gun" was found on Google Street view of all places, in photos from 2023. a keen eye will spot a connection between two different locations too big to dismiss as mere coincidence.

That was fun. Reminded me of the old days :)
