For some reason this guy pings me like Fun Land in Sandman #14 (the Serial Convention chapter). I wonder if he was an inspiration for Gaiman.

His mother filed a missing person's report later that afternoon. Detective Bill Bellusci was given a list of local registered sex offenders by the FBI, but focused his suspicion on Bar-Jonah, who was not on the list.

How the hell was this guy not on the list with all the stuff that happened beforehand
