I saw this video and wanted to post it here because it reminds me of prob what poor Leonard was going through coming back home from the war and being a Vietnam vet in NYC..
It breaks my heart honestly how bad they were treated.. I really pray that one day Leonard is found and put to rest the way he deserves...

I came across this on Namus and thought it was interesting since the person was found pretty much one year exactly to when Leonard went missing and he was found at the US Navy Coast Guard Station in NJ. Leonard was Part of the US Navy Coast Guard. So anyway just thought I would post.

I dont know... I was we could have the report clarified - was he walking away as in walking away from his home and his life or was he seen walking down near his house? To me they are two different things.
