In the beginning, she had a bit of difficulty finding the first clue as to how to find Hans. She contacted his art teacher way from before and started asking questions. She was confused as to why there were so many different foods and such on the buckle asked if the teacher if he was a chef and she didn’t know. So from there unintentionally, the teacher actually helped her by giving her an example at how to look/draw a horizon. Basically, she interpreted that as looking at a glass half full/empty and decided to look around more. After that, she had trouble looking at more clues and finding more things to find Hans. She wound up looking around more and she found a post on webfoodpros.com that was posted in 1998 from Chef Carl and that led to Chef Rene. When she went to the meeting of chefs, there were multiple people that had fit the profile of Hans, she had trouble finding him even though he wasn’t there whatsoever; after that, she had trouble finding him at all. But, Chef Rene calls Hans and it actually happens. Interview pursues, and she returns the belt buckle.
In the end, she finds out what the actual story behind the belt buckle, it wasn’t lost, it was stolen. She also finds out he didn’t make the belt buckle. It was actually a gift from Bob 6, who was actually the chairman of continental airlines for 50 years. And evidently, he was a “cowboy”, he had worked on a ranch and he was riding horses all day and chasing cattle everywhere.
