Larry Bader was a cookware salesman who lived and worked in Akron Ohio in the 1950s. He had a beautiful wife named Mary, three children and another on the way. One day in the Spring of 1957, Larry headed off for a short business trip from which he was supposed to return later that evening- but never did. As the police, and Mary, were searching for Larry in Ohio, a man calling himself "Fritz" Johnson appeared in Omaha, Nebraska, over 700 miles away. It would take nearly 8 years, but eventually it was discovered that Larry and Fritz were the same man- although Fritz refused to ever admit it. (Subject Matter Begins @ 4:40)
