Posted on the wrong thread. I'll go find the post I was responding to:

Here's his Bio....
http://www.clover-road-baptist-church.com/Pastor1.html
Pastor Lane Lawless was saved in Wenatchee, Washington, In April of 1960. He was baptized July 9, 1960 by the authority of the Eastside Missionary Baptist Church of East Wenatchee. Elder A.A. Harris administered the ordinance. He was called to the ministry on April 6, 1971 and ordained August 20, 1971 by the Winton MBC.
Pastor Lawless received his theological education from the Alisal Baptist Institute of Salinas and the Baptist Theological Seminary of Hayward. He also studied under the tutelage of Eld. A.A. Harris.
The churches Elder Lawless has pastored are Beacon MBC of Redding and Grace MBC of Gardena. In 1975, he was sent out by Salinas MBC to do mission work in Eureka. He then pastured Sovereign Grace MBC of Mountain View, and has been pastor at the Clover Road Baptist Church since 1981.
Pastor Lawless' wife, Connie, is the daughter of A.A. and Irene Harris. They were married by Eld. Harris on July 9, 1960 in Modesto, CA. They have three grown children Brian, Brett, and Joni, who are all involved in God's work, and nine beloved grandchildren.
...According to Lawless, he lived in Salinas in the early 1980s, and now lives in Space 57 at Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park ...
...Lawless said he lived in Salinas for about a year while receiving his theological education from the Alisal Baptist Institute Theological Seminary. Lawless said he also lived in Livermore and made the one-and-a-half hour commute to Salinas when he taught and preached at the institute...
...Pastor Arthur Harris of the Alisal Baptist Church said the institute is still around but hasn't had any students or staff for a couple of years.
Harris, now the dean of the institute, described the institute as more of a Bible school as opposed to a liberal arts department. Harris confirmed Lawless received a bachelor's degree in religious studies at the institute.
Yes, it was reported to be an irrigation pond on a dairy farm owned by Ann Silva, scheduled to be drained. Had been previously searched by LE two weeks prior...Does anyone know why this particular irrigation/ drainage pond happened to be drained when it was? I can't find a statement that LE asked for it to be drained. The news reports make it sound like the pond was drained and the suitcase with Sandra's body was found incidentally. Is this correct?
If so, I wonder who owns the land where the pond is located and why they chose to drain the pond at that time, if declared to be incidental.
No, from what I read, it was routine for these ponds to be drained every two-three weeks. Something about mixing up fertilizer chemicals. I still don't even know the name of the dairy.Lina's K, do you believe the pond was drained " incidentally"? I'm wondering if the FBI suggested it.. Again, going to the comment today that this was a " disorganized crime".
I believe they have a good psych. profile of the killer to release that info.
Any known connection between Ann Silva and the Lawless family or Sandra's family?
I think this is going to cause some confusion, I know what post you are talking about!
Pastor Harris is Connie L's brother. Pastor Lawless and Connie are the husband/wife.

While searching for info on the preacher I found he purchased his current MH back in Nov of 1992. (Per netdetective). I think the alias's appear because he uses his middle name rather than his first name.
jmo
I agree with the above explanations.I think they are misspellings and use of middle initial and middle name more so than any alias. Anytime your name is misspelled or you use just a middle initial and it gets attached to your SSN it will follow you around. This man uses his middle name as a first name (quite common), which also creates variations.
I have seen a few variations on my name, and trust me, I'm not using an alias!
Fellow sleuthers: Do any of you know what L Lawless was doing for a living prior to being saved and baptized in 1960?
Assuming his birthdate is 1932, he was around 28 years old when he was ordained.
He started at the Clover Baptist Church in 1981, do we have any idea where he was between 1971 and 1981?
My apologies if the answers are already in this thread somewhere .....

I think too much is being made of his 'alias''...
As an example, my father passed away a year ago at age 70.
He had, from birth, been called by his middle name...
Believe me... this is a VERY common problem for people who 'go by' their middle names.
Thank you for having this thread and bringing up these points! It seems on the discussion thread no one wanted to talk about this man.....
Elepher...I have been searching and searching, and nothing seems to come up for him until California, although it said in his bio that he was "saved" in Wenatchee, WA. So, being from WA, I started sleuthing. It got me nowhere. I'm thinking another alias based on what I've seen so far. I searched under the man who baptized him, and he's from Omak, WA, and he has more than 1 alias as well. Now, I didn't want to bring this up before tonight, but I will tell you why the town Wenatchee made my ears perk up:

Research the Wenatchee sex ring and you will see. Pertinent is that once sexual allegations were made, there was a snowball effect, but one would have to imagine that there was sexual misconduct in Wenatchee. It is stated that sex offenders in Wenatchee outnumber citizens 764 to 1. I'm heavily looking into this Tracy 60, if you get what I'm saying. I'm not implicating anyone here, but the word "Wenatchee" and the fact that I can't trace him there makes me uber suspicious.
