“Probably someone who wanted to game the system and get some freebies using the name of this poor child who has still not been found.”
How did this creep know enough about the missing child to get this far?
He probably went on the missing child database and found a little kid that resembled him when he was younger..reminds me of a Law and Order SVU episode “Stranger” about a woman who claimed she escaped a kidnapper(Who had kidnapped her 4 years prior) turns out that was not the case, just went on a missing kids web site and found a child that resembled her and got her info and used it as her own
That was my first question, too. I would be looking for some connection between the guy and the missing child.
Probably saw the missing kid on a tv show and noticed a resemblance to the age progression picture so remembered the name.
You can bet the FBI asked him pointed questions on how he came to use that name.
