Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 23, 1967, Winnipeg, Manitoba Coffee break 7 by Gene Telpner those who follow the news carefully will recall the Story about a Man named Lawrence Bader of Akron Ohio who reportedly drowned in a boating mishap. After he was declared legally dead he later turned up working for an Omaha television station under the name of Fritz Johnson.

Quite a few people have asked me what happened to Fritz Johnson because i knew died recently of cancer and a measure of the Man s personality was that hundreds of friends he made in Omaha always believed his incredible Story. At the funeral Rev. Robert Naylor made no mention of the name Lawrence Bader or any reference to the Case. I can recall the minister s last words.
