I may not have time to do this one, but Columbo's a perfect match for this. Disarming, relentless, not too bound by ettiquite... and they never gave him a first name, with even the name on his ID being wrong.

Lots of fun in the idea.

Don't have time to do a whole thing either BUT, sample of Columbia mind games and bluntness light would probably be desperately thinking up a way to play off at this point in the story:

"Anyway, what all doesn't add up to me is how this guy or, well or gal I suppose seeing how that all...yeah, but besides that, how they got Johnny's name. We did everything to hide it, like mine, once we figured out names were involved at all. And I been thinking about it, and light, don't mind me for asking, but what was with you that day? You kept glancing over at him all weird. If I was jumpin' to conclusions I'd say...well, I ain't jumpin' to conclusions. Sorry kid, this all's got me real on edge, you know? Paranoid, that's it. Just looking a little too close into how people act. Could be one of us, for all we know, that's the part that wigs me out."
