I agree completely. Especially if he was one of the people that wanted to escape his involvement in the events of that dark day there is no way he would want to continue to go by Peanut John or John Peanuts or a similar nickname. Definitely makes him more difficult to track.

From what I can tell here are the possibilities:

(1) Cliff posited in a previous post that Peanuts may have relocated to Baltimore
(2) the son of Dr. Joseph Borrows eliminated by Susan's research
(3) an unnamed fellow who told fireman Elmer Stein he was Peanut John (around May 1930)
(4) Nathan Simms
(5) "Coughdrop Joey" Ratto

I believe Ed Steers and others have eliminated numbers 3, 4, and 5. Cliff, I think you are the best hope for finding this boy!

Very well summarized Roger! I agree with Laurie, it is long past time this young man was found so we can learn the rest of his life story. Hope Cliff is able to continue along his line of research with success.
