I've mentioned before of a friend I had who used a fake name to work when she ran away from home at a young age. She had told me about going to the library and looking up someone who died about the same age and taking on their identity. She had worked as a waitress for many years.... But.. Then also turned to stripping when times got tuff for her in her 20's. By the way, they make minimum wage and earn tips. They make good money enough to support themselves including rent and all living expenses. She has reconciled with her family and I no longer speak to her, but later in life after turned to Jesus as well. I suppose you see so much of the dark side with that kind of life. It truly is sad. Anyway the similarities between what my former friend did and FLEK are earily similar...but I know she is not FLEK. I suspect my friend had other friends who were well versed at hiding their true identities that it was easy for FLEK given some support from others who had gone before her with the same circumstances.
My friend had married and said she just settled its the guy she married to be with someone. She had also struggled in the marriage and at one point was ready to leave the marriage. She had also talked about going back to stripping for the easy money. Luckily we talked her out of that.
Because of of the similarities this just screams run away to me. JMHO
sorry for for the long post.
I was was also in Vegas in '89 and we wanted to get a slot machine for our house to play and have fun. At that time, not sure if it still applies today but you could not buy one unless it was older than 25 years old and we wanted a newer one or be a resident of Nevada or something like that. We were told that we could open a PO Box at the local Mailboxes etc store to do that. We did go to the local store and IIRC they didn't ask for any kind of ID in order to to so. Times certainly have changed.
Just stating someone life experiences which I think maybe somewhat helpful.
