What Happened to Uncle Walter?

Virtual presentation: “What Happened to Uncle Walter? Evidence Analysis and Correlation Uncover a Man’s Dual Identities” by Sharon Hoyt, CG. Walter’s family lost touch with him after he disappeared from San Diego in 1920. We’ll learn how collaboration; evidence correlation using records and photos; and predictive research solved the century-old mystery of Walter’s fate.
