Do you know if he is dead or alive?
Did anyone look for him? Was there ever any activity from his social security card ? If not he could have been murdered. Was it reported to ALE?
I know a young man who went to St Thomas when he was 18 and never went back home but he let his family know that he was going to get a job there and stay. He is still there and that was 20 yrs ago.
