It's unclear. I asked whether he'd made the I.D. because of the big black
stability boot on one leg but his answer was noncommittal. He said he saw
the van parked out front. These are the only known facts. The two of them,
taken together, plus that fact that this was in Bend, may have allowed a
sufficiently Holmes-ish mind to arrive at a tentative identification.

But the telepathy thing seems possible, too.
