Rothstein, Diehl-Armstrong's handyman friend

He sounds like quite the handyman --- willing to do the little odd jobs she needed done.

If you look on this map at the bottem it is right next to the Radio tower! This is the area where the Pizzaman made his last delievery!

That handyman might be a little slow too this women might be involved?
