    Are there more than two people involved in this story?

    Your guess makes some sense, but it's not the story I'm looking for. :)

    Repeating the clue for the new page:

    After blowing his brains out, she snuck a peek into his wallet. Then she blew her own

    brains out.

    Status: Solved
    The woman was a hooker and the man was her "client". After doing the deed, she looked though his wallet, in order to swipe some cash, while he showered. And she found a torn off photograph of the guy as a young boy with his father. The cut off photograph matched up with her own photo of her as a young girl with her mother. So she realized that she just had sex with her long-lost brother, who she'd been out of touch with since their parents split up many years ago. Then she committed suicide.

    No.

    Recap of known facts:

    She's a prostitute.

    They are unknowingly related.

    They didn't recognize each other.

    She didn't kill him.

    OK i got it. she gave him a hummer, while he was in the bathroom she looked in his wallet intending to rob him. she then realized that he was her father who had abandoned her at a young age. She couldn't deal with the guilt so she killed herself.

    Did she use a gun to blow his brains out? Was he already dead?

    The only real mystery left is how were they related, and what EXACTLY did she find in his wallet.

    ok when she looked in the wallet she saw a family picture. She recognized people in it and realized she was adopted, and that he was her brother

    Not Quite. She did find a picture. But she recognized the picture more than the people in it.

    The guesses are getting pretty close. But I have a very specific scenario in mind.

    I'm going to lunch now. So go ahead and toss out whatever guesses you want. When I get back, I'll let you know the full answer, if someone hasn't already figured it out.

    You said she didn't kill him. Did she shoot him after he died from something else?

    Was his cause of death meaningful to the story?
