Meeting Ronald Joseph Platt
While in North Yorkshire, Walker, who was already posing as David Davis, had met a young woman named Elaine Boyes who worked as a receptionist in a fine art auction house. They came to talking and she had told Walker that she and her boyfriend, Ronald Platt, who worked as TV repairman, had dreamed of moving to Canada one day because Ronald was originally from there. In fact, Ronald loved Canada so much that he even had a maple leaf tattooed on his right hand.
