They flew via private plane to Dayton, Ohio, and then drove to a state mental facility that was about thirty minutes north. Joan had called ahead and gotten the necessary approvals to visit Sidney Morse.

"It wasn't as difficult as I would have thought," she told King on the drive there. "Although when I told the woman whom I wanted to see, she laughed. Said we could come if we wanted, but it wouldn't do us much good."

"How long has Morse been there?" King asked.

"About a year or so. He was committed by his family. Or rather his brother, Peter Morse. I guess that's all the family he had left."

"I thought Peter Morse was in trouble with the police. And wasn't he a druggie?"

" 'Was' being the operative word. He never went to prison, probably due to his brother's influence. He apparently cleaned up his act and when his older brother went nuts, put him in the state mental hospital."

"Why in Ohio?"

"It seems that prior to being committed, Sidney was living with his brother here. I guess he was so far gone he couldn't live by himself."

King shook his head. "Talk about your reversal of fortune. In less than ten years the guy goes from king of the hill to permanent residence in a nuthouse."
