Here we go. Oh man, it's like game day for a sports person that's been training for ages, but only is 30 seconds

on the field to kind of prove themselves.

My brother Simon and I are in our ridiculous American muscle car. After months of investigating,

today might be the day I come face to face

with Leslie Manuquian.

You know how sometimes people say that they have butterflies in their stomach?

Well, I reckon mine's more like bats flying out of a cave, all heaps of them at once.

The trail has led me to this small Californian town

called San Louis Abispo.

Leslie was spotted restocking shelves in a supermarket here in the last year or so.

So we're on our way to that supermarket.

All right, bichrofoam's in the incognito position down in the center of the car,

sitting in between Simon and I.

Hope you guys can hear us okay.

All the people have been speaking to from her past, they all say Leslie won't talk,

but I've travelled across the world to be here and I've just got to get Leslie's side of this story.

We're pulling into the workplace that Leslie's at or about to be at and she could be in the traffic around us as we drive around.

At this stage we just want to scope the place out and confirm Leslie still works here.

Then we'll figure out how I approach her.

Before we've made a plan, we really don't want to be spotted.
