Well armed with details, Joubert posed a few questions to Nisbet while the two were making deliveries about three weeks ago.

"I said, 'Gary, I'm going to ask you a strange question: Are you adopted?'" Joubert recalled.

Nisbet gave him a strange look and answered, yes, he was adopted.

Then Joubert asked whether Nisbet knew his parents' names. Nisbet, who had learned details of his adoption through a court request, again answered yes.

Joubert recited the couple's names — only to meet a mixed reaction of amazement and annoyance.
