If Croatia is anything like Germany and Austria you are supposed to let the authorities know where you reside. You can’t just come and go as you please without letting the police know, as you can pretty much in the UK.
It’s like that especially in the former Eastern Bloc where being registered at a certain residence was necessary to establish rights of tenancy and later, ownership.
Dijana wasn’t born in “Croatia”. If you were to take a look at her birth documents, you’d see the stamps of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, both in Latin (Croatian/Slovenian/Bosnian) script and in Serbian Cyrillic.
It’s fair to say that the police coming to her and her parent’s residence looking for a man who hadn’t lived there in almost two years made an impression on them, given cultural norms.
Here’s a question for Kim, though not sure she can fully answer it due to it being in Croatia, but here goes:
Police are dispatched to the in-laws/estranged wife’s home looking for Lloyd regarding a court matter. Specifically, mail sent to him at that address was not deliverable to him and returned to the court.
So that would mean that Dijana (or perhaps the parents) refused the mail and did not forward it to Lloyd personally, but sent it back via postal service, right?
She told them he’d be back on the 27th. Back where? To the house or his new place? I also think it’s fair to say the police questioned whether he lived there or not given that the mail was returned.
I ask because if all she said was he was returning on the 27th and left out the crucial piece of info that it would be to another residence, that could be considered giving the police false information, right?
