Ep. 87 - The secret life of Lawrence Bader

In 1957, Akron father and cookware salesman Lawrence Bader failed to return from a Lake Erie fishing trip, and after his damaged boat washed ashore, he was declared lost and legally dead. But four days later, he entered an Omaha, Nebraska bar calling himself Fritz Johnson, a man with a head full of false memories but a charming and flamboyant personality that turned him into a radio and TV personality. A conman, or a case of amnesia?
