With a person of interest now identified, Miller took steps to put together a flier for local police agencies. He managed to get two photos of the man: one from the Washington State Department of Licensing, the other from the Tacoma Sheriff’s Office, which had a fraud warrant out on the guy. The Tacoma picture showed him with wavy hair and a Fu Manchu mustache. Miller’s best information came from a search of vehicle records. He learned that Draper was in the process of purchasing a car from Cal Worthington Ford<\/a> in Anchorage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contacts with the car dealership, Miller learned that Draper was making periodic balloon payments on the vehicle. He was, in fact, coming into the dealership on a weekly — and sometimes daily — basis. Each time he came in, Draper made a payment of two- or three-hundred dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n
