I haven't been able to contact my newspaper friend, yet. However, I was sharing the story with someone at church. She had heard of the story and others like it. So have I. Lot's of people used to (and still) hide assets. She is going to contact her old boss and pass on my contact info, so that I can get more info and advice. The church friend's advice was to write a very detailed letter with copies of the news articles and how I was able to track them down. She said I should proceed very cautiously and keep copies of all my communications for my record. So, I came home and was mulling things over, when a light bulb went off. Several years ago I had asked her about her occupation. She didn't tell me the name of the company, just a description of her job. She worked for a magazine that researched coins and wrote articles for said magazine. So, my light bulb asked, "What magazine is published in that little town?" Googled and I'll be dag gummed, it's a big one! So I'm not 100% sure that's where she worked, but I'm going to follow this lead for a while until I get more figured out. I just wanted to keep you posted.
BTW
One of the questions I have is if the address I have is the original property lot or if it had been divided and sold off over the years.
