[Ads-l] The knew's

[victor steinbok]

I was reading the story on a fairly random website (Tiffy Taffy) and this
turn of phrase startled me.

"The police calmly arrived, unaware of what they would find. On arrival,
they assured Wilson and Joseph that they had done absolutely nothing wrong,
but her mother was so surprised by a neighbor they knew’s actions."

I know possessive markers can drift sometimes but this one seemed a bit too
far.
