Here's a Google Map of where he was shot and killed by police on 6th Street and Gramercy Place in Los Angeles, CA.
27 July 1954
I wonder if he knew them or it was just a random choice to kidnap them. He was obviously after money, by why, what was his personal life like in this state of his life? He seems to of had 2 kids one is a male unsure of the other child as they are marked PRIVATE in other trees. I made him a tree on Ancestry and attached everything. Be interesting to see his Michigan Prison records.
