You are right that Internet name searches are inaccurate. However, everyone leaves a trail... if we look for the complete correct name.
A man has a disadvantage if he's trying to " hide" because his name doesn't change due to marriage or divorce or spouse's death.
I'm listed as my former husband's wife, and I have been remarried for MANY years. I know the searches are often wrong, especially the free stuff that's visible on Veromi.net. and everything on Peoplefinders.com
I hereby " nominate" you to dig into this.
This is a very succinct line of thinking, IMO, and one which needs to be pursued. Since he has been a minister for over 30 years, there is a possibility that his last name isn't Lawless. Churches in the 70's, etc. didn't question a man of God.. Plus, this man had a mentor, his FIL.
All I know is that the dates appear to tell a story in 1960 ONLY, when Lawless was already in his 30's. He met Connie Harris, apparently fell in love with her. Her father was a Baptist preacher. So Mr. Lawless became a Baptist on his wedding day and was marred and baptized by his FIL. ( very strange to be baptized on one's wedding day, to be honest).
Harris ( FIL) plays a huge part in Lawless's life at the beginning of what we know- his baptism, his marriage, whatever religious tutelage Rev. Harris provided.. The FIL would most certainly be deceased but the Harris family may know things about Mr. Lawless, at least about his background in 1960, when he would already be in his 30's.
I probably would start by looking into the career of Elder Harris ( the FIL, father of Connie Harris Lawless). Did he ever do any, um, community ministerial service, gently phrased?
The problem with sleuthing someone's life from such a distant starting point, is the Internet as we know and use it now, wasn't even invented yet...I have only one name on veromi, and peoplesearch 2 (maiden name). I'm thinking this man has changed his name totally many years ago. How can he drop from the face of the earth before he was "saved."
I also know (from experience) that people take to "the lord" and being "saved" to "cure" themselves of pedophilia. It's entirely possible that this man changed his name/clean slate when he was "saved." Where is the data before his saving, I ask?
Again... not implicating, only sleuthing... and MOO!
Jana, I found more info on it on another thread: Sgt. Tony Sheneman with the Tracy Police Department said when workers were draining the pond in the area off Tracy Boulevard and Whitehall Road Monday morning in preparation to flood a nearby field, the suitcase floated to the surface. He said a worker moved it to the edge of the pond and then called authorities. http://www.news10.net/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=57551&catid=2

Well... I mentioned on another thread, the actress who played Zena the Warrior Princess was an Australian gal Lucy Lawless. May be more common than we think, just awfully ironic in this case.
Put 'em here. Now that we have a forum, we're trying to branch out from the single General Discussion threads that encompass everything and get unwieldy...
