in may 2006, jt was hiding in rome when he was tracked down by theresa crane, who wanted jt to tell ethan that his wife and mother-in-law, gwen winthrop and rebecca crane, had been the ones to send jt the information about ethan's paternity and not theresa herself. jt only admitted the truth to ethan after theresa promised him $10 million; ethan refused to believe jt, however, claiming that jt had only said what he had for the money.
