I'd just like to point out that this guy was free from the time of his wife's disappearance in the early 1980's up until his arrest in March of 2011. If anyone has information about what kind of work he did, or whether or not he traveled, etc, please post it. I can't find information about his occupation, but see that he resided in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
We can see that he is a repeat offender of a serious nature, especially having taken the time and effort to construct a concealed torture chamber in his home...

Jeffrey Allan Maxwell, 58, is being held on aggravated kidnapping and sex assault charges.
Investigators are reviewing the cold cases of at least two missing women after a third was rescued from what the Parker County sheriff called Jeffrey Allan Maxwells house of horrors in Corsicana. While known as a creep elsewhere, Maxwell had reinvented himself in Corsicana. He was the vice president of the Kiwanis Club and frequently got his picture in the paper for the charity's good deeds. He was about to become president.
When he met detectives outside his home, he said he knew nothing about the missing woman. But then the woman ran from the home, screaming "I'm here! I'm here!" Inside, police would find what they later called a house of horrors.
Maxwell, 58, was arrested Saturday after sheriffs investigators and Texas Rangers discovered a Parker County woman missing since her house burned down nearly two weeks ago was being confined in a secret compartment in Maxwells home.
The woman had been bound, raped and probably tortured, said Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler, adding, I hope to never see it again.
An affidavit listed a bed with chains, leather restraints and sexual devices among items seized from the home. An investigator connected to the case reported seeing an electric winch used for stringing up animal carcasses.
The affidavit said Maxwell confessed to kidnapping and sexually assaulting the woman. He claimed he had been paid to make the reclusive 62-year-old go away, the affidavit said, but refused to tell investigators who paid him.
Investigators declined to go into specifics about the womans condition, but said investigators had bagged about 100 items from the home, which he said contained a hidden area he believed to be purposefully constructed for restraining someone.
Asked if the womans abduction looked carefully planned, the sheriff said it did.
Fowler said investigators searched Maxwells house with cadaver dogs looking for old bodies, but found none.
He said, however, his department is now re-examining a case from 2000, when Amelia Smith, 51, disappeared around the time her house and car near Azle caught fire.
