      2 months. After he makes her leave he calls Riley Kavanagh, whom she stayed with in Massachusetts. It turns out that she has never even been to Ireland and has someone over there in Sligo who mails letters to people who have visited Ireland recently from "across the pond" to learn about their family history. She's a fraud!
