An email states "Roger Guyatt born May 23rd (don't know yr) died in Australia (most likely Perth) June of 2006. His whereabouts were unknown to the Guyatt & Herzog family from approximately 1967(?) - 2002(?). Basically, he just disappeared. (Very long story). He has a family also in Australia. I won't give that information with out their permission but I will try to obtain that for you. He married that lady you have in your records, ran off to Australia where they immediately divorced and then he remarried, had children and ran off again. Obtaining information about him and his whereabouts has been an odyssey for all involved."

Another email states "His whereabouts were unknown to the Guyatt & Herzog family from approximately 1967(?) - 2002(?). He actually disappeared in 1973. The last communication from him before his disappearance was a phone call in which my mom told him that she was pregnant with me."
