Thanks so much! I read through the other thread that you posted the link for as well and there were indeed others who thought the same thing I did about that motel UID being Katsilieris, but there wasn't any clear indication of anyone in there submitting it for comparison to any law enforcement agencies.
I was going to post something in there until I saw your post here just now. I really do think there could be a connection even though the UID was in Texas and not California. He(Katsilieris) could have been trying to get away from a failed music career in California, didn't want to disappoint his family, went as far away from California as whatever money he had could take him, and committed suicide in that motel.
I don't know how John Katsilieris arrived in California, or if he was with anyone else, so I don't know if anyone is aware of who saw him in California as many reports suggest. My question is, if he was seen there(Orange County, CA), does that mean he was seen by someone he knows whom he was to stay with and then disappeared after that? Or does it mean he was seen by someone in an airport terminal, motel, or something like that?
If we knew that it may be a little easier to theorize what could have happened to him.
