I heard it was some boomer customer that ratted him out

That makes sense. Thank you for that bit of Fresh Prince lore!

I remember something about him traveling across the United States in the cab. I mean how much would that cost?!

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air" (Los Angeles)

I thought I read that grapefruit can also cause problems with certain ones

It says if you can read the sign, you're in range. It's an anomaly, after all.

The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.

The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.

Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.

I'm totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.
