November
23 - Alexander George Francis Drogo Montagu, 10th Duke of Manchester,
Alex's grandfather, died. Since there is no record of Montagu's having finished school it is possible his disgusted family, likely his mother, had allowed him to enlist in the military, who gratefully allowed him to leave at this time.
Alternatively, he could also have left school at this point, simply changing the story as having left the military.

Alexander Montagu claims to have worked for Thomas Joseph Fabian Erickson.
Montagu identified Erickson as a member of the underworld. He claimed
however, Erickson had kept him drugged. This struck me as strange since the duties required him to repossess automobiles, which required one be quick on one's
feet and also able to drive reliably.

Montagu stated, for publication, he had lived with Erickson and his family for a period of 11 – 12 months during 1983 into 1984. Given the propensity for security
Erickson, evidently an underworld figure of some power, both in Australia and
around the world. This raised further issues.

Alex reports having lived with a criminal, Erickson for 7 months. Montagu claimed Erickson found him a few days after his return to Australia to find his mother, whose address and phone number were unknown to him. Alex told me he was staying at in very expensive suite at Regent Hotel in a large suite on the 50th floor. He lead me to believe he had plenty of money but did provide any source for these funds.
Erickson, Alex said, greeted him with, “I understand you are looking for your
mother.” Alex told me he immediately was handed 10 thousand cash, a Walter P5
gun, and a private investigator license and moved into the Erickson home to work for him. It sounded more like a scene out of a movie than reality.

The room described by Montagu at the Erickson home in St. Eliza had its own
bathroom and was 'posh,' as was the entire mansion, which was far back from the
street and approached over a gulley or moat with very tight security, according to
Montagu, whose work was repossessing cars, he said.

Montagu had also mentioned Erickson and he conspired to carry out a plot to
kidnap' him, Alex, and extort money from the Manchester Trust for his return.
Alex expressed no particular shame or comment on this money-making scheme.
