Afterword

Correct! You are truely an excellent detective, the Salem PD could use someone like you. A.D. stood for Andre DiMera. Andre DiMera is Stefano's nephew who supposedly drowned in some quicksand on an island near the Caribbean in the Bermuda Triangle in the mid 80's. Here is a list of the clues that should have helped you deduce A.D. was Andre DiMera.

1. The initials A.D. signed to the "Next of Kin" on Stefano's hospital papers located in the file cabinet at the hospital

2. The hospital bill from the Caribbean in Victor's desk which indicated treatement of a patient there who had been in a coma.

3. At the meeting Victor had with A.D. before the Costume Ball A.D. said that part of the DiMera Empire was rightfully his.

4. When A.D. showed Kristen his face she was shocked and asked why HE was doing this to her. He told her he was not who he appeared to be. Note: Stefano gave Andre plastic surgery to look exactly like Tony in order to frame Tony for a rash of killings in Salem.
