It appears to be a good fit, as long as we seek an option where Lt. Davison is dead. Thus far, I believe, we have had a few people voice their interest for him being alive and perhaps even with the group however. We should likely discuss the story approach we want to begin with before we go and create too many characters that may or may not fit in the one approach we end up taking.

Oh yeah, of course. This was only thought of in the scenario where we don't know what happened to Davidson and were trying to find him. he could be alive or dead and his status unknown, or he's dead and the widow wants to find the killer. 

If he is alive, my only suggestion for this character would be his wife or family etc ask the PI to find out what happened to Davidson as the man himself wont discuss what happened. SO he could be a spy for the family wanting to find out what happened? There are large inconsistencies with this route but it's an option if some players are willing to go with it.

Nonetheless, the basic premise has to be agreed upon, as you have stated. Where exactly are we with that? I've had a skim through but there seems to be a couple different debate threads that converge and diverge into varying conversations.
