Famous Scientist DisappearsProfessor Carl Vernon Holmberg, a famous cellulose chemist mysteriously disappeared. Many critics are skeptical. Including his three sons. Stating that there were no symptoms, but More importantly, right before he vanished, he spoke to his wife about a breakthrough at work. Holmberg took much pride in his work. He never spoke to even his wife about exactly what he was working on, in the laboratory. Prof. Holmberg was famous for a good reason. He was one of the best chemists in the world. I can only guess what he was discovered in his lab before he vanished. Professor Holmberg Apparently, was found years later, his mind a blank. No memories of his previous life. Vernon Hasen was the name he made up for himself, he didn't know who he was. Only found due to A traffic stop that occurred years later. Hasen Yielded to authorities and reported he didn't have an I.D. That led to fingerprinting by the local police, in Rockford, Illinois. The FBI stepped in figuring out years later, and A long way away from New York, that he was the famous scientist, that went missing many years previously. He stated he could remember nothing sometimes he felt like he recognized landscapes or had been there before, Holmberg-Hanson remained in Illinois. He lived out the remainder of his life, finding a new wife. His memory was fine after the disappearance it's like he was reborn or brain wiped clean states an anonymous blood relative of Holmberg-Hanson he just couldn't recall the first 50 years of his life before his disappearance. Holmberg-Hasen's Ex-Wife remarried and Sons grew old, a family he wishes he knew, his mind a blank. We will never know what happened in those long three months or what really happened but it is apparent that some things are better left unknown for Verne Hansen or Professor Carl Vernon Holmberg he wasn't so lucky. the FBI claims it to be amnesia.
