Former trooper dead in Guatemala
ALASKA DIGEST

Published: October 28, 2006
CENTRAL AMERICA -- A former Alaska state trooper on the run for years from a charge that he killed a girlfriend in Nevada in 1995 has been found dead in Central America, the FBI said.
Meanwhile, his current girlfriend and the couple's two children were found slain in a nearby city.
The body of John Patrick Addis was positively identified this week by fingerprints, said David Staretz, spokesman for the FBI in Nevada.
Addis, 56, had been on the lam since Joanne Albanese vanished in 1995. Her remains were found three years later in Arizona, and he was charged with killing her. A nationwide manhunt began.
Addis moved all over the country and resettled in Mexico, according to authorities.
Authorities said they are investigating Addis's death as a suicide and the death of his family as murder.
Addis' body was found in a hotel room in Guatemala City, Guatemala, several hours away from the city in Mexico where his girlfriend and children were found dead, according to material on the "America's Most Wanted" Web site. The television show has featured Addis multiple times.
Addis had been teaching English and tennis in Mexico, according to the Web site.
Addis was a homicide investigator with the Alaska State Troopers in the 1970s and 1980s. He was an instructor in crime scene and death investigations.
He was an Alaska fugitive at the time Albanese disappeared, having violated parole after a 1987 conviction on parental abduction charges.

Ex-Cop Gone Bad Wanted For Murder
As a state trooper in Alaska in the 80s, John Addis excelled in crime scene investigation and forensics.
John Patrick Addis is an intriguing individual. In the 1980s, Addis was a state trooper in Alaska. He rose quickly from patrolling the highways of the Alaskan interior to homicide detective.
His former colleagues remember him as highly intelligent, but somewhat eccentric. During his stint as a trooper, Addis lived on the outskirts of Fairbanks with his wife and two young children. He played the French horn, flew his own small airplane, hunted, fished, studied UFOs and worshipped the deity RAH. Police say he abused his wife, both physically and emotionally. According to investigators, she became a prisoner in the log cabin they shared. The marriage finally ended in a bitter divorce.
After the divorce, his wife received custody of the children, but Addis kidnapped them and flew his plane to Montana. When police caught up with Addis, he was convicted of custodial interference. He did a few months in jail, effectively ending his career in law enforcement.
Could a crime scene expert have covered up the scene of his own crime?
A New Life -- And A Crime Scene That's Just Too Clean
Addis and Joann Albanese in happier times.
By 1995, Addis had relocated to Las Vegas, and reinvented himself as a body-builder and personal trainer. While working at a local gym, Addis met an attractive divorcee named Joann Albanese.
At first, Addis seemed like the perfect boyfriend. He was attentive, wrote love letters, and moved into her lovely home. However, as time passed, the abusive, controlling John Addis reemerged. Before long, Joann realized she couldn't tolerate being treated like a slave and tried to break the relationship off.
On August 19, 1995, Joann Albanese disappeared. So did John Addis. Initially, the case was classified as missing persons because there was no crime scene, no witnesses, and most importantly, no dead body. But when Detective Larry Hanna of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Unit learned of Addis's background as a former cop and homicide investigator, Joann's vanishing without a trace and the absence of a crime scene made him very suspicious.
Addis became the prime suspect in Joann's disappearance. The night before she vanished, police say Joann told a girlfriend she was breaking up with John, and was going to tell him.
The only clue police had was Joann's car. It had been found in Little Hell's Canyon near Prescott, Ariz. An extensive search of the desert area near the car turned up nothing.
But in mid-1998, a hunter stumbled across human skeletal remains in the Arizona desert. DNA tests proved it was Joann Albanese.
On July 31, 1998, a grand jury in Clark County, Nev., charged John Addis with the murder and kidnapping of Joann -- but there was still no sign of him.
Accused Killer Moves South of Border
Addis started dating this woman in Guadalajara, Mexico. The two have since disappeared.
Investigators have since learned that in 1997, Addis was living in Guadalajara, Mexico under the aliases John Charles Elwars and John Charles Stone. There, he began dating a Mexican woman named Laura Liliana Padilla Squares, who was 26 at the time.
But Addis and Laura vanished from Guadalajara and have not been seen since. Her family believes Addis kidnapped Laura. Detective Hanna and Laura's family fear the worst, but are holding out hope that she could still be alive and traveling with Addis. |
