Perhaps it was Joseph's connection, then, which does seem pretty obvious. I was listening to the report for pleasure, and this was some time ago; what I came away remembering was that there was a pretty convincing argument for why it would have been reasonable for them to contact local relatives if they needed a place to stay.
