Lost memory man travels from Lima to Sandusky mystery
A memory-impaired traveler in Lima, Ohio, aged about 40, was found with no recollection of his identity or origin after a staged journey by buggy and stage to Sandusky. A long investigation traced possible accomplices, with theories of a drugging plot and a private Cleveland asylum, but the case remained unresolved and the man eventually faded into old age.
