Seems that the address given by CNN (in the article I posted) for the dry cleaner's was incorrect; the strip mall is across the street from the health-care center. The address of Ziker Cleaners is actually 1808 East Bristol Street, Elkhart, IN, according to directory assistance.

Here's an excerpt from a WNDU-TV news story from late September (http://www.wndu.com/news/092002/news_16371.php):

The new charges against Toogood came today after prosecutors determined the address she gave police when she was originally arrested was fake. She gave them the address for Ziker Cleaners in Elkhart, Indiana. David Ziker, the owner of the business, said he could not believe Toogood used his business' address.  For this offense, which is false informing, Toogood will be facing another charge in St. Joseph County....

John Toogood facing federal charges
To add another log on the bonfire that this case is becoming, Toth stated the social security number on John Toogood's driver's license was actually issued to a person who died in 1962! The theft of social security numbers is a federal offense, so that information will be forwarded to federal officials.
