This is whom I believe he is... more work to do to be positive

Yes, I think he is a real possibility. Good find.

I thought Columbo’s first name was Frank?

 

[MimosaMornings]

And is it the character or actors name?
(I’m kinda old lol)

 

[BayouBelle_LA]

Is this his real name or another fake?

I’m guessing it’s his real name. Now it makes me wonder why he used an alias.

John Colum...

Yes there is John J Colombo in Juneau that is 70!

There’s a FB with a lot of pics that I don’t think can be linked here.

Several, a family group if you check genealogy sites & poke around. Remember that WS is victim friendly & we avoid sleuthing family members. I hope being nosy is different enough?

Addresses are confusing.

What type of job allows one to move away for years at a time??? Well, the US Air Force stationed my uncle in the Philippines and Okinawa....

Nobody expects you for Thanksgiving dinner if you're that far away.

And -- how long can fishing boats stay at sea? Do container ships stop in Alaska?

How could a person have established addresses in 2 places at the same time?

Sorry, I knew it was an O, not U. One of those days!

That "O" point was my BINGO. LOL. And the High School matches up too.

Class of '66 at Roosevelt High School sees his name followed by another name in brackets:

John C****** (G******* S***)

It's a man's name; I say that because the only other classmates listed with a name in bracket at the end are women so "married" name.

And a comment in response to a comment on one of the pics:

"With the neighborhood boys Yonkers, the best of times"

Certainly lining up with fake-Paul.

Hmmm.... There was someone by this JC name listed in NamUs (missing). But, I haven't checked the details.

 

[Vern]

Also just found in the Roosevelt High School site that JC is listed as having "military service" … I'm going with Air Force back when we were posting about Thule, Greenland.

I'm not seeing a JC listed there now.

 

[Andreee]

wow

Recently had a PM/Conversation w/CyresAyres1, yes this individual is living.

 

[S.Callen]

I have been trying to do a side by side of John and “Paul”. I have been using the wedding photo provided here, and the wedding photo (powder blue suit) on FB.
IMO, same person.

ETA:
After looking at the suit, on a different device, the blue does not look as powder blue. It may be the Reshade preset I have on my gaming PC.

TY for finding that - I was able to find it also, and the likeness is amazing!

So why in the world did he choose to mop hospital floors in Indiana???

Background for a novel???

Self-protection? He had a well-known family name that in certain decades may have been dangerous to have (particularly in New York), and may still be to some extent. If you read about the "timing" of let's just call them family/semi-political disagreements of that era, (which He may or may not have been affiliated with, as I have no access to ancestry), I believe it would cause someone to be fearful and go into hiding whether there was a relation or not. There were identifiable events occurring in 1986-1987 and in 1991-1992 (the same range in which Paul appeared and disappeared) that would cause someone to go into hiding.

This all just conjecture. I have not done any extensive familial research. I believe that per WS TOS, we are not permitted to sleuth family members and we are not permitted to name names in this forum. Anywhere in this thread where the suspected name or family name appears needs to be replaced with initials. JMO.

Apparently, can't get the link to work.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
This is what’s at link. I don’t believe it’s the same JC because of his age. Also name spelling is different.
