Laid what, eggs? Even an AI copy editor should have caught that.
She lied.
Amazing story.....
Smells like ....
Worth reading the whole article. Even if he’d died with his secret, it looks like he’d have been exposed regardless.
Pretty much 1965 to 1980 was the peak of PRIVACY for Western Society. That was when you could move around and not stir up questions, as prior, if you tried moving to a new town, for example, you’d be peppered with questions. After 1980, databases started being developed, plus other things to ‘get people into the system’. Today, try walking into a Social Security today when you’re 20 years old and demanding a new card without providing any history, or without being nailed for a false history. The ONLY option now is having people in government give you a new identity, and a new past.
“As for where all the money went, Ashley believes that it was blown on ritzy digs and at least one bad investment”.
Typical. Get a lot of money, blow it all on stupid stuff.
My brother learned a professional skill for work from a guy he knew for over 50 years. Friends with this guy as long.
Learned in the latter part of their relationship his buddy came from California and was a narcotics agent there. Had a different last name from which we both knew him as, this was his real last name. Details are fuzzy because he did not go into the story but he made off with a large cache of narcotics he seized working as a narc, fled with the drugs to Arizona and began a new life under an assumed name. I’m guessing he sold the drugs and got a bunch of moolah. Started a new business, became a master craftsman and none better. He passed away many years ago now. Truly likeable guy, funny and hip as hell. Occassionally told us both stories of jazz clubs he used to go to in California in the early days. Very cool cat. Loved to smoke grass and that was all and it was why it was so surprising to learn HE was a narc.
We were both shocked to learn of his past. You don’t always know the whole story.
If society were not so collectively intellect-darkened and morally deranged, the article would have reported on whether the father had confessed his sins before his death, received absolution, and made a decent go of living the rest of his life in a state of grace.
Ashley Randele, along with her parents Tom and Kathy, was watching an episode of “NCIS.”
