Blood military, born and raised on bases abroad, abroad. Mother was a French national, father in the court. His first trip to the United States was to attend West Point. Four years later, his ships out for good. Iraq, Afghanistan, the Balkans, you name it, served with distinction. Silver star, bronze star, Legion of Merit, Defense Superior Service Medal, you have to look that one up, and a Purple Heart. He spent the bulk of his service in the military police. By all accounts, a brilliant investigator. Apparently a troublemaker too. Demoted to captain, looked his way back to major. Then two years ago, he musters out. After a literal lifetime in the military he just up and quits And then for only the second time in his life he enters the United States and simply disappears Dead maybe? Not according to social security and a bank account in Virginia. His pension is deposited monthly and someone is making the occasional withdrawal, all wire transfers. I can't find out where without a federal warrant. Well, he can't drive or fly, At least not under his real name. Any warrants? Records clean. Oh, come on. Guy this hard to find?
