Carl Moody

Carl Darwin Moody, property 20-21, disappeared successful precocious 1950 oregon perchance 1951.

There is simply a batch of disorder surrounding Carl’s disappearance. His great-nephew conscionable precocious came crossed this household enigma portion researching his genealogy, but due to the fact that his relatives that are aged capable to retrieve would person been truthful young astatine the clip (and rather up successful property now), cipher tin retrieve much.

It is known that Carl was surviving successful Louisville, Kentucky successful 1950; a paper nonfiction confirms that helium was progressive successful a car mishap there. According to the article, helium received scrapes and bruises, and was taken to Nichols Hospital to beryllium checked for immoderate interior injuries.

From what his household members person recounted, Carl got up and walked retired of the infirmary and was ne'er seen again. If this mentation of events is accurate, it would mean helium vanished from Kentucky successful 1950.

NamUs, connected the different hand, states that Carl was past seen successful San Francisco, California successful October 1951. This mentation is somewhat backed up by the information that the investigating bureau is the San Francisco Police Department.

Carl was enlisted successful the subject astatine the clip of his disappearance, and his relatives callback subject unit randomly showing up astatine Carl’s mother’s location successful Kentucky, looking for him, arsenic they believed helium was a deserter.

This could mean that helium was stationed astatine the Presidio successful San Francisco, and had been backmost successful Kentucky connected leave, yet being reported missing by idiosyncratic astatine the Presidio erstwhile helium didn’t return. Or possibly helium did return, unbeknownst to his family, lone to vanish soon after. It’s worthy noting, however, that San Francisco constabulary are alternatively notorious for not wanting to judge missing idiosyncratic reports. Just disconnected the apical of my head, Rose Cole, Farren Stanberry, James Egan and Bridget Pendell Williamson ended up having to beryllium reported done agencies elsewhere, adjacent though each of them were past known to beryllium successful San Francisco. Therefore, I find it HIGHLY improbable that SFPD would been the investigating bureau for idiosyncratic suspected of deserting, a concern that is typically handled by the military.

Carl’s great-nephew has been incapable to find galore details connected his clip successful the subject – helium doesn’t cognize erstwhile Carl enlisted, oregon wherever helium was stationed.

It’s got to beryllium a hard enigma to solve; if you person immoderate entree to accusation that mightiness assistance portion it together, I americium definite his surviving relatives would beryllium precise grateful.
