SCOTT COHEN / THE SEATTLE TIMES

...On one side were the glowing letters of reference, some 20 in all.

Enrique Fabregas had a "compassionate heart," wrote James Sinclair of Overlake Christian Church. He provided "safe and loving care" for children, wrote Douglas Hamilton with the Consulate General of Canada. He's a "personal friend," wrote a Seattle police officer.....

He claimed to have a high-school diploma but couldn't remember the name of the school, where it was or when he graduated. He said he was in the Navy SEALs but couldn't remember when. He said he worked nights but "shrugged, mumbled and tried to change the subject" when the interviewer asked him who would watch the kids while he was at work.
