The Stolen Identity of Joseph Newton Chandler III
October 28, 2024
Robert Ivan Nichols, who went by the alias Joseph Newton Chandler III was born on September 12, 1926 in New Albany, Indiana.
On July 23, 2002, Robert Ivan Nichols committed suicide by a gunshot wound to the head in Eastlake, Ohio at the age of 75. After his death, investigators tried to locate his family and friends but to no avail. It was later found that Robert had been using the name Joseph Newton Chandler III for decades as a false identity, and that the real Joseph was an 8 year old boy who died in a car crash in 1945.
The real Joseph Newton Chandler III was born on March 11, 1937 in Buffalo, New York. On December 21, 1945, Joseph, his father Joseph Newton Chandler Jr., and his mother, Billie, were killed instantly in a car accident close by to Sherman, Texas.
The Chandler family had been on their way to see the boy's grandmother in Weatherford, Texas for the holidays. Their car had been in a head on collision with a truck driven by a man named L.C. Black of De Queen, Arkansas who left the scene uninjured.
Robert Nicholas joined the US Navy in World War II and served as a firefighter on the USS Aaron Ward which ended up being bombed by the Japanese in May 1945 off Okinawa. Robert was wounded in the back and hip and awarded the Purple Heart. He burned his uniforms after the war.
Robert married a woman named Laverne Kort in 1947. They had three sons and Robert worked as a draftsman for an electric company. In 1964, he left his wife and family and filed for divorce.
He moved to Dearborn, Michigan, where he told his parents he worked in the automobile industry. By March 1965, he wrote to his parents that he was now living in Richmond, California, while also sending a letter to his son Phil from Napa, California.
After this, Robert's family never heard from him again and later reported in missing in the same year. The family hired detectives to try to find Robert in both California and Indiana, but were unable to find any trace of him or anyone who knew him in those areas.
It is noted that Robert used his real name to work until around 1976.
Robert stole Joseph's identity in September 1978 in Rapid City, South Dakota, after applying for a social security card. He then moved to Cleveland, and worked a number of jobs. Robert had eventually become laid off in 1997.
It was also said that he claimed to have a sister named Mary Wilson, who lived in Columbus, Ohio, however the address he provided for her was made up and did not exist there. It was revealed later that Robert had used that address that he was born at in New Albany.
It was reported that Robert living under Joseph's identity, was a hermit who only left his house to work and eat. His co-workers reported that he rarely spoke to anyone and had no friends.
He also engaged in strange behaviour such as listening to white noise for hours, and one time drove 700 miles to an L.L. Bean store in Maine, only to leave when he got there because there was no spots available to park.
In 1992, he dressed up as a gangster and went to a Halloween party however the people there claimed he never spoke to anyone the entire night.
In 1989, Robert showed up to a local hospital with lacerations on his penis, claiming he got them from a vacuum. He also made homemade electronic devices a lot. He had a computer he used sometimes, and investigators found searches such as "Nazism" and "plastic explosives."
Robert's body was discovered in his apartment on July 30, 2002, about a week after he died. He shot himself in the mouth with a revolver he had purchased months before. On his calendar he had marked down the days until his suicide, and before doing it had closed his blinds and turned off his air conditioning. He had recently been diagnosed with colon cancer which may have been part or his reasoning for his death.
He had $82,000 in his bank account and had listed co-workers as his emergency contacts. Police could not find any of his relatives and that is what led them to realize he was living under a false name and identity. Authorities could not use fingerprints to assist in identification but were able to get a DNA sample from a hospital Robert had visited in 2000.
So why had Robert been living under the false identity of Joseph Newton Chandler III who had died almost 60 years prior and what was his real name?
Authorities speculated that Robert was a fugitive of some kind, either on the run after committing violent crimes or hiding from something. No theories have ever been confirmed.
Internet sleuths suggest he may have been the unidentified Zodiac killer as he resembled police sketches and was known to live in California. Some believed he was a fugitive named Steven Campbell, who was wanted for attempted murder. Authorities also thought he may have been a German soldier or Nazi official from World War II who had fled to the US to escape prosecution for war crimes.
Robert's name was not identified until 2018, 16 years after he died. In 2014, the case was reopened, and using DNA extracted from a tissue sample from his hospital visit, a CODIS profile was created, but no hits were found.
In 2016, there was a match found that indicated his possible surname was either Nicholas or Nichols. In 2018, the DNA Doe Project identified him as Robert Ivan Nichols. A CODIS match with Phil Nichols, Robert's son, confirmed his identification.
The reason for why Robert Nicholas stole the identity of an 8 year old boy who died in 1945, and lived under the identity since 1978 remains a mystery.

Australia 2023
25th-26th January
As we come towards the end of our Australasia adventure we’re making the most of the great weather here. We are now in Albany, WA, having driven down from Margaret River, stopping on the way at Manjimup where we visited an interesting Timber Museum. Albany has a huge natural harbour and was a big port until Fremantle come along and took a lot of the trade. It is surrounded by National Parks and beautiful beaches with the bluest of seas. Today we visited 2 gems, Little Beach, and Goode Beach which were truly amazing and not at all busy despite it being a public holiday for Australia Day. In fact, around here at least, Australia Day was pretty low key with just some family events on the beach.
We also went to The Gap which is a spectacular channel in the 40m high granite cliffs where the Southern Ocean pounds in and Natural Bridge made of granite rocks. Viewing platforms allow you amazing views of this rugged coastline and the crashing waves below. The sea was fairly calm on our visit but still created quite a splash!
In the evening we went to the National Anzac Centre which is dedicated to Australian and New Zealand soldiers in WW1 and has amazing views from the lookout including of the harbour where the convoy of military ships lined up and departed.

Albany Pride Festival 2024: Celebrating diversity, inclusion, & community
New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/albany-pride-festival-2024-celebrating-diversity-inclusion-community/
Albany Pride Festival 2024: Celebrating diversity, inclusion, & community
Albany Pride Festival is back for 2024, with two full weeks of Pride events for the local community.
Albany Pride Festival is one of WA’s biggest regional Pride Festivals, bringing together community from Albany/Kinjarling and beyond.
The festival gives the LGBTQIA+ community and allies of Albany/Kinjarling region a time of celebration and visibility, and for those outside of the region, a perfect excuse for a fun-filled, Queer-themed holiday.
READ MORE: We Are Pride: Queer channel champions LGBTQIA+ representation
The theme for 2024 is “We are Family”. This theme is a celebration and recognition of community strength, the support we can offer each other in the face of opposition and attempts to divide, an understanding of our Queer history of holding each up and accountable, and the incredible intersectional diversity that exists within the broad, beautiful Queer family.

Albany Pride Festival Opening Weekend
To officially open the festivities on Thursday February 22, local Menang elder Vernice Gillies, is hosting a Welcome to the the festival at the National ANZAC Centre Albany.
Guests will then be invited to walk up to the top of the lookout and Vern will tell their story of the Stirlings, Porongurups and the Mammang Koort the open sea which is the heart (Koort) of the whale (Mammang).
This will be the first time Albany Pride Festival has had an official local welcome, so this is a special event and one not to miss.

Sounds of Auckland
Ночное озеро у торгового центра Albany
05.08.2023 - 16.11.2023 20:30 - 10:00
Оживлённый пятничный вечер, всё работает, на удивление, до поздна, в ресторане сверкающего огнями торгового центра Albany веселье. За дорогой и небольшим парком совсем другой мир - озеро, погружённое во тьму. Холодн�� но ясно, в темноте попискивают и хлопают крыльями лебеди, утки и эндемичные птички, лёгкий ветер шелестит листьями пальм. Рекодер почти у воды, под большим круглым камнем и кустом новозеландского льна, соединяет звуки обоих миров: спящего ночного озера с одной стороны и вечернего торгового центра в котором продолжается праздник - с другой. После полуночи веселье затихает, торговый центр больше не доминирует над озером и звуки ночного города перестают заглушать тишину ночного пруда.
It's a busy Friday night, with everything open surprisingly late, and the restaurant in the sparkling Albany Mall is full of fun. Behind the road and a small park is a completely different world - a lake immersed in darkness. It’s cold but clear, swans, ducks and endemic birds squeak and flap their wings in the dark, a light wind rustles the leaves of palm trees. The recorder almost by the water, under a large round stone and a New Zealand flax bush, connects the sounds of both worlds: a sleeping lake at night on the one hand and an evening shopping center in which the holiday continues - on the other. After midnight, the fun dies down, the shopping center no longer dominates the lake and the sounds of the night city stop drowning out the silence of the night pond.

#VoxPopTuesday During its 16 years on the air, the audience participation program Vox Pop devoted several of its broadcasts to celebrating the Christmas season, especially when a broadcast was scheduled on or near the holiday. This was the case in 1939 when it aired on Thursday nights for Kentucky Club Tobacco.
On November 30, the week after Thanksgiving, the program broadcast from Macy’s Department Store in New York City. During the show, Parks Johnson and Wally Butterworth interviewed several shoppers, including Hugh Lynch of Hawthorne, New York; Frederick Tillinghast III of Albany, New York; Alice Wehner of New Haven, Connecticut; and Wally Kain of New York City.
However, their most famous guest that evening was Santa Claus himself. The photograph shows Johnson interviewing Saint Nick and awarding him with a package of the sponsor’s product.

Time for your Rock Report
Prog rock legends Jethro Tull have announced plans to embark on a tour of the U.S. in 2023. Dubbed "The Seven Decades" tour, the trek will be in support of the band's new album, RokFlote, which dropped on Friday, April 21. The trek will kick off on August 18 at Ravina Festival in Highland Park, Illinois, and conclude on November 4 in Albany, N.Y. Tickets are on sale now.
The Grateful Dead officially joined TikTok last Thursday, which also marked the biggest "stoner holiday" of the year, 4/20. The Grateful Dead's TikTok account "will serve as an outlet to celebrate the decades of music, generations of community, and endless array of creativity that has woven the band and its fans into every new era of the world's counterculture and consciousness," the band said in a press release. The Grateful Dead made its debut on the platform with a 30-second video playing in the background of the soundtrack of a remastered 1969 live recording of their song "St. Stephen". Content on The Grateful Dead's TikTok page, which already attracted more than 251 million views, will be updated daily with more music and other surprise video clips.
