Adding Charley Project entry. I think the only additional info there is that the tumor removal left him with one leg shorter than the other.

I'm a bit confused with the wording
Was the 'new' brother in law about to marry his sister in 4 days' time?
Ie soon to be brother in law?
Or another one?
And did the brother in law not say where they went after leaving the mother's house - and when they split up - when he was at the wedding and then David didn't show just 4 days later?
'May or May not have had a beard'
Surely they know - He was seen 4 days before the wedding!

The more of these cases you read the more you just can't understand the vagueness of the details available at times

 

[StarrChance]

David had sister Lori Lynn
From 1973 fathers obit

 

[StarrChance]

She married April 1985, so perhaps the new brother in law

Charley project has a picture of him with a beard circa 1985.
I can only find two sisters, Janis married in 1971 and Lori Lynn April 1985.
Wonder who was the May marriage he was to walk down the aisle?

 

[Teesside]

Yes it's all a bit of a mystery from what information there is
Could Janis have been remarrying?
Other than that or a 3rd sister I can't think of anything else

And obviously Robert Dudley.
Did he say where they went, and where he last saw David?

This was their engagement announcement, so they must've married later than April 1985. Still searching for the wedding announcement/ any trace of Robert and Lori-Lynn.
