Who reported Dienes first?

Here's something that hasn't been researched enough:

Who gave Bay Village police Frank Dienes' name as a possible suspect before Kopp was killed?

Detective Mark Spaetzel has said they questioned Dienes years ago about Amy's murder. But what turned them on to Dienes? There's two possibilities here, as far as I can tell:

1. Someone who suspected Dienes may have killed Amy called a tip into police. Was it Joe Kopp? If not, I'd very much like to speak to the individual who called. What led them to suspect Dienes?

2. Was Dienes' flooring company's name in Margaret Mihaljevic's book of contacts, which was taken from her apartment after she died and ended up with Bay Village police in 2001? That would be very interesting.

I'll try to get some answers on this soon.

Anyone know if the Dienes family took a trip to Las Vegas back when Margaret died?
Was the address books turned in anonymously? Because, it was my understanding that Margaret's mother did not know the men that asked for them, and at that time no one from the FBI or Bay Police dept. claimed to have taken them and was wanting info. on the people that did.

Would Nicole Alexander have any information about trips to Vegas? Maybe shared stories with the Dienes family about different vacations they took?

Without the internet, victims' families would have no independent method of keeping the killers' in a state of fear.

Keep up the good work.
