It does not appear that Mr. Johnson had connections in Georgia, but a building manager of the apartment complex where he was living told Mr. Wright that Mr. Johnson had one friend who would visit him.
The building manager also said that Mr. Johnson was known to his neighbors as William Cox or “Bud.” When U.S.
Marshal officers went to question him, they had no indication that he was employed, but upon his arrest Mr. Johnson mentioned he had a pension.
Before his escape in 1994, Mr. Johnson was serving a state sentence in Oregon for three counts of sex abuse and one count of attempted sodomy.
Mr. Wright would not disclose details on the new technology to protect the secrecy of future investigations using the method.
