Our dear friend Kelly got us in contact with representatives from Texas Equusearch (http://www.texasequusearch.org/), an organization dedicated to the search for missing persons. Because of their help, we were able to get in contact with a Sergeant at the Houston Police Department who agreed to take a missing persons report by phone.

With the Sergeant's help, we were also able to discover that Duane has no driver's license in the US. He has never requested or received one. Which pretty much blows the medium's suggestion of looking in his truck out of the water.

The latest record of Duane's existence is now an arrest record from 1990. He was, apparently, at this time homeless. His occupation is listed only as "laborer" and no address is listed.

The arrest was for what the Sergeant called a "scrap," probably between himself and another homeless person. Other than the arrest, there is no record. He was never convicted of the crime he was brought in for, and since then has never been arrested again.

After filling out some paperwork, we received copies from the Military Records Database of the places and times where Duane served with the Navy. We have posted a buddy search on Military.com in the hopes that Duane might be remembered by an old Navy friend.

We are waiting for a response from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who we wrote to last week, to see if they are interested in helping.

We have contacted alumni from Rice University, where Duane attended. The actual alumni office refused to give us any of his records beyond saying that they had no current address for him. However, now we are reaching out to his peers. We are awaiting a response from the alumni as well, in the hopes that one might have a yearbook with a photo of Duane.

It was with that hope that we contacted various web sites featuring scans of Rice University's 1970 "Photo Booth" yearbook. The yearbook featured multiple photos of each student, laid out vertically, to give the impression that the photos were taken in a mall photo booth. This corresponds to the time we believe Duane was at Rice, and since the yearbook is rather famous, we've asked those that host sites with the images to forward us any they may have of him.

That is where we are today. Join us again as the search continues.
