Thanks for the input. It makes sense to ask for ID for a prepay event transaction...
If you don’t have a receipt of the transaction handy,,,
In recent years, every hotel, from major chains to small inns, have asked me for a photo ID at check-in, including hotels in AZ, CO, FL, NY, RI, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Ireland, and the UK. This apparently is SOP.
He's better off shopping for food and staples at convenience stores with the cash instead of splurging it at a hotel.

According to the article, the person never actually checked into the hotel: "The flight attendant said a worker at the hotel, which she did not identify, told her that the mystery man “didn’t know where he was going and he had the wrong hotel.”
Didn’t a flight attendant say she took a cell phone photo of him entering Canada?.
He has a camp in Georgia. Tent—the full gear if not a mountain cabin rented by his folks. He told them a story how he is innocent and they believed him. He’s going all Unibomber on us for the now. Shaved his beard—let his hair grow. He looks very different. But his days are numbered. I bet he’s armed and will shoot it out with the FBI when they find him.
I guess I am not so recent..
It seems to me Laundrie doesn’t even have a pot to piss in.
News accounts suggest he dove his dead girl friend’s van back to Florida and used her CC to get there.
Nobody with a functioning brain thinks he’s in that preserve.
Exactly. They check personal ID and the type and makeup of the car you are driving.
“He’d have been better off trying to come up with a diminished capacity defense. There are plenty of mental health “experts” who will invent a new disorder for you.... for a price.”
Based partly on an earlier post on another thread by flaglady47 (it reinforces an argument others have made), I don’t think they’d need to “invent a new disorder” for Brian: she makes a persuasive case that he suffers from a known one: paranoid schizophrenia:

I believe that, like children, people suffering from mental health issues DO have “diminished capacity”. So they do need to be judged by a different standard - a LOWER standard.
In the case of children, this handicap is “cured” by them growing up, maturing. Similarly, in the case of some mental health patients, it can be “cured” by medication. The immediate priority is to protect the public, which might require incarceration. But once successfully medicated, they may even be able to lead a normal and productive life. (Additional treatment may be necessary, but this is just a brief response.)
