BB ~ I really appreciate your help! I mailed a three page letter to the address in Portland just last Friday and left a message with someone who lived on the same street as was listed for Joe. So at this point, I feel as if the ball is starting to roll. You're right though about what address may be recent. I will get a letter out to the Scarborough address tomorrow and see where that might lead me. At this point all I want to know is if he's okay! I'm still so confused as to why he would not come into contact with any of our family for this amount of time (about 17 years). In the letter I sent out on Friday, I gave my email address and this website so that if he wanted to, he could contact me through here. I'm hoping for the best! Angie

You all are awesome!! Thanks BB for all of your input ~ I actually did see the Joe Leap in Portland ME and called information to see if they had a number and they didn't. I'm sceptical about paying money to an unknown site ~ the least expensive one I saw was actually $10 to just get an address. I never thought about looking up neighbors close to the address and asking for their help... worth a try! Thanks again to all of you ~ I hope and pray to have my brother found before the end of the year :o) Angie

I'm looking for Joseph Leap ~ not sure what city he was in when in TWI but his last known address is from NY in 1988. Anyone have any ideas as to where he might be these days? Signed ~ Joey's little sister

dmiller ~ Thanks for the phone number. I actually got up enough nerve to finally call yesterday, Nov. 14th, and was transferred to the permanent records department. After leaving a message for someone to call me back I was sure I wasn't going to hear from anyone, but I was wrong the gal called me back! The information she gave to me was very vague though. She had my brothers birthdate in her system and I verified that it was the correct Joseph I was looking for then she told me that the last known address they had was in NY from 1988. I asked if she could give me the address and she said that it was during the time of computer upgrades and that she could not see the full address. I thought it sounded pretty fishy! But I thanked her and got off the phone as soon as I could. We visited Joe in ME in 1989 and he didn't mention anything about being out of TWI but I guess anything is possible. Am at my wits end now. I've searched every people search site I can and it looks like the last address available is in ME so I'll have to dig further from there. I still may put his name up in the NY forum here and see if anyone has any ideas. Thank you again for the number!

Thank you for all of your help and suggestions. I'm a little nervous about contacting TWI but I need to do this for my family and myself. Maybe this Christmas will behold a miracle for us :)

My brother, born Joseph Anthony Leap April 1953(?) grew up in Indiana and is the oldest of six children. We believe he is still part of TWI. Everything we know about him is pretty foggy because he did not communicate with us much after he joined TWI. I do know that he worked at Luca Pizza in Indianapolis about 20 years ago, he then moved to North Dakota and then to Maine. We actually went to visit him in Maine around 1990 or so. At that time he was seeing a gal by the name of Wendy and she had two kids but I can't remember their names. I know they were names with initials, like B.J. or K.C. We just want to let Joey know that we miss him and love him. Our parents aren't getting any younger and I know that their one and only wish is to see their first born son again. I really don't know how TWI works and I'd hate to get him into any trouble because his family is asking about him. At this point, any information about him would bring us closer to an understanding as to why he just up and left a great family.

I'm new to this site and in a desperate search for my oldest brother Joe Leap. He is 53 years old and has the most awesome smile from what I remember (we haven't seen him in over 17 years). Anyone remember the last name of Leap?

Hi there ~ I'm hoping someone can tell me if they know or have any contact with Joe Leap from Indiana. This is his little sister and I'm desperately trying to locate him to find out if he is healthy and happy. We have not seen him in almost 17 years! Why would he desert his family like that? Is this typical of The Way members? Please, if you are not able to give any information... at least let my family know whether he is safe... or at this point even still alive. Thank you!
