In the past four months, Lehto filed referrals for three

When questioned about these referrals during the biannual
departmental alt, Leto became evasive; he did not return t0
work the next day, and has not been seen since by Orpheus
personnel. The initial investigation by agents Zeledon. andl
Masterson indicate Lehto was familiar with the
