who is close to release, that has managed to stay anonymous.

But yeah, no one knew he was there.

I'm sure the paparazzi media will hunt down all and any details on the nurses.

Although, Amber's family has been able to keep close tabs on her. And Nina and her condition are being pretty guarded as well.
