Agreed, and I did not clarify that I was referring specifically to Texas in my post.

The legal drinking age went from 19 to 21 on September 1st, 1986. So yes, that's actually an interesting possibility. That said, from memory I seem to recall that even though the drinking age was 21, you only had to be 18 to work in a place that served alcohol at the time. But take that with a...

I don't think that should be a sticking point. Bakersfield is only where the BST birth certificate came from, and then only because LEK (or someone) figured out that the real BST had died in a different state, breaking the connecting between birth and death that might get flagged as suspicious...

That's a pretty sweeping statement. So sweeping, in fact, that I would have to label it as false. ID requirements vary widely from state to state, and what is true today was almost certainly not true (ID-wise) in 1988.

I'm honestly not sure what it would accomplish. The certificate is from 1996, which is well after she had already established her new identity, and toward the end of the span of time she spent in college. I'm kind of doubtful that they would remember some random member of the public from 20...

LEK almost certainly did NOT take the class in Illinois. The "Buckeye Pilot" certificate has an "instructor" signature that's hard to make out. However, a list of certified powered parachute instructors in Texas reveals a likely match -- namely one Richard D. English, in Princeton, Texas. As it...

There's also the period from 1992-1998 on her resume, which is (IME) exactly the kind of vague and unverifiable filler that an ex-dancer would put on their resume to hide the fact that they were a dancer. This is a common problem for ex-dancers, especially the ones that put themselves through...

Disclaimer: This post doesn't really advance the mystery of who LEK might have been. However, I have had this nagging feeling ever since I first read about this case that I had seen LEK somewhere before. It doesn't help that I was living in Dallas just a few years before LEK showed up there, and...

(Long time lurker here) The acronym FLEK has never sat particularly well with me. Lori Erica Kennedy was a real, legal name. The "fake" prefix doesn't accomplish anything, simply because Lori Erica Kennedy was in fact the original Lori Erica Kennedy. Becky Sue Turner was indeed a stolen...
