If you wanted to dissappear and stay missing here are seven steps to do it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Step one: change your name. Research newspaper accounts of children dying
|
||
|
about the time you were born; note the parents' names and proceed to the
|
||
|
Bureau of Vital Statistics to order a copy of the kids birth certificate.
|
||
|
Take the birth certificate to the post office and apply for a new Social
|
||
|
Security number; if this is a problem, due to new SS regulations, simply
|
||
|
advise the Social Security Administration of your name change and have your
|
||
|
SSN reflect this. Take your new Social Security card and birth certificate
|
||
|
to the voters'-registration office and apply for a voter's card. With
|
||
|
these three pieces of identification, you can apply for a driver's license,
|
||
|
preferably in a larger city. (Be sure and have those documents sent to an
|
||
|
address other than your own, such as that of a mial-forwarding service.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Step two: move to another state. To reduce the possibility of accidentally
|
||
|
running into someone you know, move to an area that people are unlikely to
|
||
|
like Las Vegas or L.A.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Step three: break off all contact with relatives and friends. A skilled
|
||
|
investigator can employ sophisticated pretexts that will decieve even the
|
||
|
most alert person, and those closest to you could accidentally betray you.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Step four: give up any serious hobbies. People with special interests live
|
||
|
in a small world (except for computerists, as hacking and phreaking is a
|
||
|
small world where people don't use real names and phone numbers anyway).
|
||
|
One man whose hobby was target shooting was located when his picture was
|
||
|
printed in the club newsletter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Step five: change your vocation. Same reason as step four---it's a small
|
||
|
world and someone, someday, may recognize you.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Step six: alter your appearance. This won't fool anyone who knows you well
|
||
|
but should be sufficient to throw off casual acquaintances. Dye your hair,
|
||
|
cut it, or let it grow out; if you wear glasses or contacts, interchange
|
||
|
them; adopt a new clothing style, etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Step seven: remain low-key. If your fingerprints are on file, don't get a
|
||
|
job that tcU%Is them. Do not take a highprofile job. Never achieve a
|
||
|
position of great importance. Don't enter legal altercations. Don't do
|
||
|
anything that brings attention to yourself.
