How strange! He renewed his driver's license in June 2001, a little over 3 years after he was reported missing. Mom verified that the photo on the license is her son, but apparently that was recently, so she would not have actually been aware of this in 2001. That's unfortunate, if Gary had listed his new address for the drivers license renewal, LE could have tried to locate him that way. I'm sure they tried recently when they discovered the renewal but it must have been a dead end seeing as he's still missing.

I wonder why he wasn't keeping in contact with his mother? And I wonder how he was supporting himself if he was no longer reporting earnings since 1998, though I guess he could have been doing some kind of work under the table and just not reporting any income. It's a mystery, I wonder what happened to him, or is he still alive?

Strange case. Maybe he has been living a transient lifestyle, I don't know.

I just noticed we share the same birthday, 1/11.

I just read about this case on the CP. I used my good ol' yearbook skills and found photos of him from 1991 and 1992! :)
