To the best of my knowledge, it first appeared on FR here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2366539/posts?page=42#42 Not only is Madelyn incorrectly written, so is the name of the street, and we could never find any trace of the other names that were 'signatures'. I have also seen the 'template' to which you refer. Only problem is, which item you believe to be genuine. The template itself could be a cunning fake. I'm not offering a final judgement on either one. Posting for the record.

Freepers can make up their own minds.

“Only problem is, which item you believe to be genuine. The template itself could be a cunning fake.”

It is not possible for the “Blaine” BC image you provided from 2009 to be genuine because it has clear traces of signatures from the template used to forge it in box 19a.

IIRC, the template BC was found and was verifiably genuine because it belonged to a real person and all of the detail matched and could be verified.
