@SageWanderer Perhaps, unless he was able to go underground. He was 25 then.

@bijouxbroussard I don’t know if they has witnesses protection programs then or he may have left the country. Now I’m curious.

@SageWanderer On one of the sources a woman poster commented that Levine had been her grandfather and the name changed to "Levin". The records noted that he was married and had children.

@bijouxbroussard I enjoy those kind of stories where people lead double lives. Now I wonder how and where he lived, did he have a job, and family? Wish I had time to do some research.
