4. What was the name of the man who picked Rosie's husband's ATM card out of the trash?

He was mostly silent during this attack, except for "making a little plosive noise under his breath every time the pencil's blunt point dug into her skin: Poo! Poo! Poo!" This is probably the most chilling attack in the whole book, I got shivers reading it! Very creepy!
