sentence by Agatha Christie

Dear teachers,

I found this sentence by Agatha Christie which was unfortunately incomplete. Sould the verb be WAS or IS? And should we add a comma after "married"?

"Alix has just found some newspaper cuttings in a drawer, proving that Gerald, the man she recently married s actually Charles Le Maitre, a woman-killer wanted by the police."

= "recently married, was / is actually Charles..." ? Should we have WAS with HAD just FOUND, and IS with HAS just FOUND?

Would it be possible to find the original text on the net?

Best wishes,

Hela
