Detectives say Speedie, nicknamed "The Traveler," operated as a professional forger, with $230,000 to $250,000 in looted goods found at his San Fernando lodgings. He claimed to be a writer and photographer and admitted to cashing checks after going broke in 1945. Speedie’s arrest followed a motel sighting in Middleburg Heights Ohio.
