I came accross this site while looking for my Father Richard Lloyd Barnett, I want to thank everyone who has helped try to solve this.
I would like to give you all some more information on what we know or have been told.
We were told by our Father Richards mother right before she died that he died in a car accident drinking and driving and no one else was killed, she also said that she thought it was in New Mexico along I-40. Well we have found out by much research he did not die in New Mexico and she did not find this out by a death certificate we believe it was a police report, but do not know for sure, she would not say much.
What is really strange is he did not have a drivers liscense, but then again maybe he hitch hiked.
Also someone else in our Fathers family told us that they heard the same thing. There has been no activity on his Social Security since 1979, but his death was never reported to Social Security.
I was thinking that if their was a car accident their is paperwork somewhere that will prove it.
We have been searching for what happened to him for so long. I have had a death certificate search done in New mexico, California, Texas, and Oklahoma. I wish that their was a centralized Nation Wide Vital Records office so we wouldn't have to go state by state especially if it wasn't reported to Social Security.
Sometimes we think the story that we were told may not be true either, our Father was estranged from all his family.
I would love for everyone to continue to help us with our case,or have any suggestions. I feel very blessed to have found this site. If you have any more questions please let me know. I am not the best at explaining things, but will do my best.
We are waiting on results of the UID that you all have found to be a resemblance, it all sounds close except that our Father had different tattoos, but you never know, he could have gotten more.
