It turns out that the threats came from 15-year-old Kevin Malone. He is arrested but the judge rules the transcripts of his chats with Lorraine inadmissible. Kevin spent up to 10 hours a day talking to her online and had run up over $50,000 on his parents' credit cards. The case will be difficult to prosecute because internet addiction isn't a documented phenomenon. But then Carmichael discovers that Kevin's father wrote to the credit card companies to find out who the money went to. He claimed he just wanted to ask her to pay it back. Lorraine believed Kevin to be an adult and encouraged him to visit her at the massage parlor, so his father could have got the address from Kevin's messages.
