So Raymond Claude Manier was called to court in 1978 in Idaho. Maybe this is why he decided to dip and change his name.

Interesting.

"...for the purpose of obtaining a Decree of Annulment, rendering absolutely null and void ab initio the bonds of matrimony now existing between yOu and the plaintiff. That said cause Of action is based upon the allegation that you were incapable of entering into the marriage state at the time Of your purported marriage to plaintiff..."

so he didn't want an annulment? doesn't seem like something to run away from? I'm trying to think of reasons ...

Circumstances of Recovery Decedent was admitted to Virginia Mason Hospital under alias Robert Miller; however, reportedly the decedent's legal name was Raymond Claude Mainer. In 2014, the investigation was not able to confirm that the decedent's legal name was Mainer and the decedent was buried under the name Robert Miller AKA Raymond Claude Mainer. In 2025, identification of Mainer was confirmed and an unclaimed persons case is created to locate any NOK for notification.

I don't think the 1946 date is correct, though. From what I can find, he was born in 1940 in Glendale, California. There are no records for him after his divorce in 1977.

Interestingly, his brother Roland is also in ClaimUS, which suggests to me that the family may not be very close.

The death records information in that screenshot comes from the individual's death certificate. The person who usually provides the information for a death certificate is an established medical record or a family member who knows the deceased's birthdate but in a case like this, that information likely wasn't available so a best guess was entered based on the limited information the hospital had when he died.

He is no longer in ClaimUs.

He is no longer in ClaimUs.

I wonder why his brother has yet to be removed as well?
