The family tree is on Ancestry and has comments from a niece confirming the details in #1 above. She also notes that the family continued to look for him and wondered if he might be a victim of Juan Corona as he matched the victim profile of itinerant labourer. But they never contacted the police about the possibility due to his sisters fear that it would prove to be the case.
