He claimed to of graduated from Cornell and was an engineer. Also claimed to be in the Army. I searched records under all his names and it's next to impossible to find anything that would be 100% a sure thing with this guy. I would surprise me if he had wives all over too. He was kinda a stinker, and a young one at that.

Perhaps a relative is also looking for him and this might help them in some way, I hope.
