IN IN - Paul Raymond Harrod May Have Been Using False Identity - Hamilton County - 27 Nov 1992 #2

[lonewanderer]

There is a man I have known for a while, and I finally asked him about the strange scar-ish type thing going from his crown area to the back of his neck.

He explained to me that he had a condition called hydrocephalus, basically he has a stint in his head that drains the fluid in a long tube down to his stomach.

Made me think of Fake Pauls head scar.

You're all good. To quote one of my closest friends, we live and we learn, for real.

I'd say everything we know about Mr. Harrod is here

WhoIsPRH?

A man claiming to be Paul Raymond Harrod disappeared in 1992, telling his wife he needed to get away for a while. Only, he never returned. Twenty-years later a Cold Case Detective began investigating the case and determined he was using a fake identity. Ten years have passed, despite exhaustive

But yes, he did mention something about Greenland once. Probably military related. I do not believe he was born in 1945 though. No way in hell. Maybe 1952-1957. I think his wife agreed as well.

Any idea what happened to this website ? It doesn’t seem to work anymore.

No idea. But the creator of the website is a former Websleuther here who did alot of investigation into fPRH recently. There have been no breakthroughs on this case unfortunately. Hopefully, the detective who first got us started on trying to find fPRH will return here at some point. This case has been looked at every way possible. I think it would only get solved if someone who knew his true identity came forward after seeing an article about him IMO.

The person who did the website is no longer on here, either, as mentioned above. It's too bad about the website, but I doubt the reason it's gone has anything to do with his case, it would seem the person doing the website, etc had their own personal reasons for not being involved in doing research on his case anymore. People move on sometimes or have to ( things going on in their life, etc) from some hobbies and interests.

Dang. I tried to look on wayback machine / webarchive as well and don't see anything. Wish all of the files were somewhere to still at least be viewed. Thank you both!

It's surprising how the primary initiators of this case seemed to have lost interest in this case. The website has been deleted, and there has been no activity from the investigator in over a year. You don't usually see that dynamic in these topics.

The website in question was made only a few years ago by a newer follower of this case who did extensive research into it, and she also consulted with our good detective Lockhart. She for whatever reason deleted herself as a WS member and her website. It has nothing to do with detective Lockharts part in things. He is a working detective and has checked in here from time to time, and has been very invested in this case in his spare time. I in fact private messaged with him briefly here just last year. But we have basically hit a dead end with finding out who the fake PRH is, at least for now, and Im sure this is very frustrating for Detective Lockhart. Hoping he will drop in again at some point!

Still odd.. oh well. If she’s reading this, I’ll take over the site if you still *can* access it!

I guess I didnt explain it properly lol. The gal who created the website did so on her own after reading about this case on WS. It wasnt an official website or anything, just hers. There was nothing on it as far as new information as far as I recall. This thread here is basically the go-to for facts about the case!

I’ll have to look more into it then.. I had seen a lot of links referring to that site

Yes, there was another longer term website that discussed this fPRH case, and they posted earlier on this thread somewhere as well. Not sure if their website is still up. But nothing new.

I just came up with a few questions. I don't know what life was like in small town USA back in the early 90s.
If one moved out to another state and wanted to keep up with the news in the home state, how would they do that? F-Paul could not have send newspapers to his home, his wife would have noticed that. Could he go to a newspaper stall, or shop? Would they have the newspapers from his hometown? Did he have to ask for them to be ordered?
Did he have a P.O. box that his wife had no acces to? If so, how often would he collect them? Every day? Once a week? Once a month?
I wonder if something happened that caused him to go into further hiding or perhaps something happened that made it no longer necessary to hide and he simply went back to his old life.

 

[friendlysleuther]

I have some catching up to do. Somewhere along the line Marla told me fPRH went to a convention in GA for something.

Hi Cyres.. Sent you a PM.. hopefully you will see it.

 

[friendlysleuther]

I think about this case at least once a week.. cant imagine what it's been like for cyres

Bumping..

PRH was a truck driver for Chesty Chips at one point. This is one case that has been delved into as far as it possibly could be, and sent our good detective in various directions over the years with several great leads and WSers went along for the ride. But I just think this case has hit a dead end unfortunately IMO due to so many years having passed, etc. but it wasn't for lack of trying, to put it mildly. But I wish Detective Cyres well, as he inches ever closer to retirement! And who knows...

Ahh, thank you! I had no clue. I thought maybe with the 1987 connection, maybe.. ugh

It really scratches my brain-- Who was he? Why did he lie? What was he running from? How did he get.. oh, you know.. Anyways.. I hope to see it get solved, one day! Fingers crossed.

PS. Tell Cyres to get ahold of me when he retires, that means we will have more time to solve the case! Ha!
