Included for relevance; source claims are not independently verified. This record is based on saved titles and descriptions unless a separate deeper-reading assessment is explicitly shown. Observation dates are not incident dates. An arrest or charge is not a conviction.
How to read this record
Current ROOT qualifications: Own FBI-tips title supplies generic advice, not a completed assistance outcome or investigation. Adjacent own statistical claims remain separate and are not assigned a reporting year.
Historical original manual note (preserved; superseded only where the explicit ROOT qualifiers above apply): Relationship I: Romance label lacks own fabricated-affection/persona mechanism. No technology from URL or genericRomance; no clinical, judicial, asset or policy stage. Source does not state reporting calendar year or actual incident country; SouthCarolinians retained as population description only.
Evidence basis: saved title description

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
