I have never had much interest in "aliens".  And yet, my first husband
was murdered by someone who must have been some sort of alien.

Michael, my first husband, had a Ph.D. in Metallurgy, and had been
working in Washington, D.C. on a year-long contract.  When that job
ended, he went to a legitimate "head hunter" in Washington, to get
employed.  Michael and I had been divorced for years at that time, and
I was not in touch with him.

The person who interviewed him was a murderer, looking for a person
with Michael's profile, to take his identity.  He wanted to sell phony
mining stock by pretending to be a Ph.D. in metallurgy from a
prestigious university, and he was looking for an unmarried man,
someone who would not be quickly noted to be missing.  Michael had had
his second divorce, but he was close to his parents in Chicago, so the
murderer did not take that into account.

He lured Michael to Oklahoma, where he was to close a deal to do some
metallurgical work in the Carribean, as I recall.  There, the man
killed Michael, and impersonated him, even writing letters from the
Carribean to Michael's parents, pretending the work was going forward.

Michael's body was later found when someone ratted on the murderer,
three years later, and Michael's father had been pursuing the case
through a private detective all of this time...this story goes on and
on, so I will summarize.

The bottom line here is that this odd man, who did not look like
Michael and had two and a half fingers missing, had no passport or
record of being a citizen of the U.S. or any other nation.  He spoke
eight languages, however.  Who was he?

He claimed he was a gov't agent, and mIchael was one too, and Michael
did not know a "password" and had to be killed.

I deliberately lost sight of this case and do not know what happened to
the murderer.

But reading about aliens tonight, I thought, doesn't he fit the profile
of an alien?  He has no known birth record, and speaks eight languages.
  I don't even know what I mean by alien--I guess, a person from another
country, but he had NO country.  I don't really believe in folks from
outer space, but I guess there are demons who will try to pretend to be
aliens.

Maybe this was a case, even 30 years ago, when an alien impacted my
life, and possibly he was a demon.  Possibly he was a human whose birth
no one could trace, whose place of origin was unknown.  A terrible
mystery.

Come, Lord Jesus, remove us from a world of such evil.
