...and then?

This article doesn't say what happened to him after 1992, and a google search only has a load of archived newspaper articles from the same year. Does anyone know if he got back to America? Did he go to another Mental Hospital? Kaid100 (talk) 01:07, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find anything after 1992. I looked, too. Sorry.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SSDI has a Victor N Hamilton born July 15, 1919 dying on November 11, 1997. Given his sketchy date of birth, however, it can't be conclusively connected. Cheers, CP 19:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
