L84MF ??? Did Corll give a Corvette to Brooks? Where'd Corll get it? Doing random searches on these numbers/letters and various combinations. I'm not a car person, does anyone else know what to make of this? Maybe Swimsuit Boy was a car person. Guys that age love their cars. This is what's coming up on random searches:

The L84 camshaft was not available in 1970 Chevrolet cars. The L84 refers to the 327 fuel-injected engine, which was introduced in 1962 and used in the Corvette and other models until the late 1960s.

The Chevrolet Corvette's small-block L84 engine was revolutionary when it debuted 1964.

...a front-mid-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (also called more simply "mid-engine, front-wheel-drive layout", and abbreviated MF or FMF)...

The young man in this image, missing Ralph Hampton Miller. looks very, very much like Swimsuit Boy to me. I know there's confusion on whether this is the right image for Ralph. Is it? It's still up at various sites for Ralph. I know Ralph disappeared from Florida, and this concerns me greatly because one of Corll's accomplices specifically mentions travel to Florida. The dates are flexible in my mind, what would concern me more than anything is that anyone so deeply associated with Corll would mention travel at any particular location, quite frankly. That would be a place where I'd be watching, jmo, and not just for where Corll's accomplices were going, but where Corll himself may have gone, unbeknownst to us. Ralph was supposedly on his way to see a Chambers Brothers concert, and the clothing Swimsuit Boy was wearing is very, very much in line with the hip and groovy clothing that probably would have been worn to such a concert. And the boots, too-- much of Florida leans towards US southern culture. As for the swim trunks, would it be possible Ralph was booked into a hotel with a pool and that's why he had the swim trunks? It's almost like a pair of trunks for a swanky pool party with that belt and metal.

I'm seeing Jimi Hendrix had died the night before Ralph disappeared, and returning to the Chambers Brothers, I do not see any concert scheduled for the date Ralph disappeared. I see Chamber Brothers in Tampa in July, and I see San Francisco in November. I may not have a complete list, and it's likely it would be very difficult to find one. Ralph did disappear on a Saturday, though, which would be a night when I think a concert would occur, and the clothing with Swimsuit Boy is concert-type clothing, jmo.

I see an incredible resemblance there. The Florida aspect with the accomplice noting any kind of travel there ever, at all, is a concern for me.

New documentary on Corll and Henley is streaming on HBO Max, unfortunately it hardly references the ongoing efforts to identify this young man & potential other victims.
