1983 
           John goes to work at Evans and Novak in Washington D. C., working part time writing 
            for The Star.  The world would be a better place if he had stayed at the Star.

  Manchester -  After a very short time in the Military, by his report, this not documented, Alex
                returned to Australia.
                     Alexander Montagu claims to have worked for Thomas Joseph Fabian Erickson.
                     Montagu identified Erickson as a member of the underworld. He claimed
               however, Erickson had kept him drugged. This struck me as strange since the
               duties required him to repossess automobiles, which required one be quick on one's
               feet  and also able to drive reliably.
                      Montagu stated, for publication, he had lived with Erickson and his family for a
               period of 11 – 12 months during 1983 into 1984. Given the propensity for security
               Erickson, evidently an underworld figure of some power, both in Australia and
               around the world. This raised further issues.
                     Alex reports having lived with a criminal, Erickson for 7 months. 
                     Montagu claimed Erickson found him a few days after his return to Australia to
               find his mother, whose address and phone number were unknown to him. Alex told
               me he was staying at in very expensive suite at Regent Hotel in a large suite on the
               50th floor. He lead me to believe he had plenty of money but did provide any
               source  for these funds.
                     Erickson, Alex said, greeted him with, “I understand you are looking for your 
              
mother.” Alex told me he immediately was handed 10 thousand cash, a Walter P5
               gun, and a private investigator license and moved into the Erickson home to work
               for him. It sounded more like a scene out of a movie than reality.
                     The room described by Montagu at the Erickson home in St. Eliza had its own
               bathroom and was 'posh,' as was the entire mansion, which was far back from the
               street and approached over a gulley or moat with very tight security, according to
               Montagu, whose work was repossessing cars, he said.
                     When Erickson died in 1988 he was still facing 230 charges, including
               kidnapping, threats to damage aircraft, blackmail, threats to kill, and sexual
               assault against minors, according to an article appearing in an
Australian paper.
                     Montagu had also mentioned Erickson and he conspired to carry out a plot to
               'kidnap' him, Alex, and extort money from the Manchester Trust for his return.
                     Alex expressed no particular shame or comment on this money-making scheme.
