The FSO who claimed he encountered Bishop in Sorrento was found to have lied. Frankly, I don't think any of the other sightings held any water either. I wrote a piece on doppelgangers a few years ago to explain how people could be mistaken. I was honored to have been asked to work on the case. But, alas, he pulled off the perfect crime. And a most monstrous one at that.

Great to be connected. Feel free to reach out any time.

James, you and I communicated a few years back on this. I agree. More questions than answers, but the fact that the FBI pursued those sightings in Europe so aggressively tells me that they had more than just a mere hunch that Bishop touched down on the continent after the murders. Ironically, my travels have taken me to Sorrento (most likely the same alleged public washroom) and Kungsträdgården in Stockholm. These two sightings seem be more wish fulfillment speculation by the witnesses, than actual verified ones, but regardless the FBI took them seriously at the time. Either way, I agree with you, he is long gone by now wherever he ended up.

Ah that seems like it would work if they are still in society and actively maintaining their cover. I hold the belief that a family annihilation is like an enforced suicide pact as most of them kill themselves as well. Joseph Goebbels terminated his entire family at their residence in Obersalzburg. He wasn’t a big or physically powerful man but very convincing.

How was it possible to direct blogs to Brad Bishop? I didn’t follow how those communiques reached him. It is quite possible that he is dead himself. People don’t last long when they are on the run. Most are betrayed by their associates, confederates and neighbors.
