Under hypnosis, Jeffrey struck a chord with losing a wife and two children in April.[2]
[edit] National attention
On Sunday, October 22, Jeffrey was put on various news channels and talk shows in the hope that he would be identified.[3]
"I feel totally lost; I feel totally alone. I want my past. I want who I was, or who I am." -Jeffrey "Al" Ingram[1]
[edit] Discovery of identity
Jeffrey's parents recognized him on a morning talk show and called his fiancee, who then contacted Denver police and identified "Al" as 40 year old Jeffrey Ingram. According to Jeffrey's fiancee, Jeff had left for Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada in September 2006 to visit relatives, and never came back. [4]
