How profane a solution to the mystery! All the Schnebly fantasy vanished, and this right before

Wolfgang
It's a good theory,
Wolfgang, but there is just one problem:
Before she married Theodore
Carlton Schnebly, her maiden name was Sedona
Arabella Miller.
Also,
please note that her first name was "Sedona," not "Sedonia." Her
mother
who gave her the name was Amanda Miller.
