Family Scandel? Why? If the guy wasn't working steady and had an opportunity to deliver a car in Colorado (from the "great" thoughts of Hoosiermama), put some under the table cash in his pocket and drive a two year old sportscar back to Alabama (or Georgia), it certainly wouldn't be a scandel. In fact, it might just be an "ordinary event" that nobody would really notice.

John Karr's life doesn't seem to have been under the watchful eye of anyone. It was toooo irregular. Lot's see his 1040's.

That's kinda what I was thinking. It seems most families don't think much of a family member being absent on important holidays IF they have a good excuse for it. He could have made up just about any story to explain his absence and no one would have likely remembered it.
