My goal is to write him a letter anonymously and perhaps contact authorities (not sure if I'm going to do that anonymously or not).

I called the local newspaper and because I knew the name and date of death of his mother I was able to get a pdf of the obit sent to me. The archives person at the paper thought I was doing research for ancestry. Just an FYI for those who want to take this journey and do it anonymously.

I have some thinking to do. I just called T1 and left a message that I found his name. I tried searching for records with his name on archives.com and so far what I've found is a possible death certificate from last year.

I have friends in law enforcement and the prison system that are going to look up his name and give me any info they can find.
