she had located a copy of Sloan's death certificate, which stated
that his father was widowed at the time of his death. David
changed the subject by commenting on the weather that day and
expressing his concern as to how Ms. Sutton would travel home.
Approximately a week later, Ms. Sutton issued two additional
summonses (both dated April 21, 1992). The first was issued to
Chicago Trust Co. for documents relating to the shares of stock
Sloan owned at the time of his death. The second was issued to
Morgan Guaranty for bank statements of Sloan's checking account
from April 1 to May 31, 1987. On April 29, 1992, the Morgan
Guaranty statements were sent to Ms. Sutton. After examining these
statements, Ms. Sutton issued another summons (dated May 15, 1992)
to Morgan Guaranty requesting all canceled checks from Sloan's
checking account issued from April 1 through May 31, 1987. Morgan
Guaranty sent her copies of a portion of the canceled checks; all
were dated after Sloan’s death. In accordance with Morgan
Guaranty's normal business practice during 1987, the original
canceled checks were returned to Sloan at his home (3722 Dewey
Avenue, Omaha, Nebraska) along with the monthly bank account
statements.
During the course of her investigation, Ms. Sutton reviewed
Sloan’s 1985 and 1986 income tax returns in which he had claimed
head of household status, with David as his qualifying child.
