From the desk of Colleen Montgomery: Alessandro Donato -- there's more to Lidia Vance's nephew than meets the eye. * Says he's an accountant for the European Union (but spends a lot of time here in Colorado Springs). Pops up whenever anything bad happens...and then mysteriously disappears. Wonder if he knows anything about the troubles plaguing the Vance and Montgomery families, and/or if it's connected to the dismantled drug cartel? I'll have to stick close to the handsome Italian to find out what secrets he's keeping. It'll be tough, but this reporter is willing to do whatever it takes to uncover the truth.
