For much more on the Jose Padilla angle:
http://www.whoisjohndoe2.com Lana Padilla is not Filipina. She's anglo, maiden name Walsh. Padilla is the surname of her third husband, Leonard Padilla.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal (facilitated by yours truly), she said she was not aware of any relation to Jose Padilla (but she did think that he looked a lot like the JD2 sketch).
Nichols' second wife, Marife Torres, was a Filipina.
