My guess is that the person is deceased already. But, if an ad was put in the paper asking for the person owning the number, it would get a lot of people looking at their certificates and perhaps help piece together enough tangible information to turn public opinion toward demanding the truth. I'm willing to bet you could find the person's name following three spots after the Nordyke listing in the Aug. 16, 1961, Honolulu Advertiser. Once a name gets out of a true owner, all hell could break loose.
I don’t think that name was ever in the paper in 1961. Long story. Hopefully the whole story can come out soon.
