I used CHAT GPT to age progress a few pictures these are my results

I was finally able to recieve Stephen's military records. 121 pages that I need to go thru. Some are hard to see. I also recieved his DD214. Which list other than honorable for his discharge.

Huge update. Please keep us posted @Snoangel26. My thoughts are with you as you read the hard parts.

That's good news. I hope you find something that helps you resolve his disappearance.

Hi @Snoangel26 .... wow.
I know you know how many of us have supported you on this journey.

Hard to understand how and why there are so many pages for a single soldier.

I have lost track of some of the details you have shared over time...... but remind us again.
Are they any relatives or family connections you can lean on at this point in the journey.

Unfortunately the only family is his sister, that told me to never contact her again or she would deem it harassment. I will continue to search and I'll have him declared deceased.

I'm so sorry, that is terribly sad for you. Still hopeful you will get the answers you deserve even without her help.

 

[Snoangel26]

I know this isn't very clear. But this is one of the pages in his file.

It would have been helpful if they had sent you some info on what the abbreviations mean. So it appears from this that he was apprehended on Oct. 29, 1976 and put in the Tulsa County Jail but had no civil charges. Then presumably he'd have been returned to his parent command unit, and they didn't recommend a psych eval upon his return to his unit. Is this the last date they show anything for him? How does that compare to the last date you had previously?

[Snoangel26]

The last date I have that he went AWOL was November 1 1976. I emailed the detective and asked about him being in jail in October 1976

So perhaps he escaped either from the jail, or while being transported back to his unit, since that's just a couple of days later.

That makes sense.

I finally realized that in #4, GDS REQ means either guards required or requested. I wonder what SNM means in #2 and 3. Stephen Murphy, perhaps, but the middle initial is wrong.

I wonder if ChatGPT might be helpful here in terms of interpreting the abbreviations or cleaning up the files and making them easier to read. Or even to summarize what is in the 121 pages.

Glad you’ve gotten this far.

 

[Snoangel26]

I have used Chatgpt and Google AI and Gemeni for some clean up and interrupting it. Majority of the abbreviations I knew.

It stands for need of service member

Curious about line #2.... at first I read this as SNM apprehended by FBI at 1700 hours on 76/ 10/29 at Tulsa OK??

I am guessing I am wrong on the FBI part??? Please correct. thanks @Snoangel26

That's how I read it as well. And that he was being held in Tulsa jail

 

[doublestop]

I wonder if you could do a FOIA request from the FBI on him?

 

[Snoangel26]

I did one years ago. But after looking at some of these papers I'm considering doing it again
