John Patrick Addis

John Patrick Addis (May 1950 – October 2006) was an American law enforcement officer, parental child kidnapper, suspected domestic abuser, prime suspect in the murders of two women, and fugitive from justice.

Early and personal life John Addis was born in Flint, Michigan. His first marriage was to a woman named Jodi. Jodi wanted to settle down in Michigan and raise children, but John, not wanting to attend college, relocated the Addis family to Sitka, Alaska. through a gym client, Tara Rivera. Albanese and Addis were in a relationship for several months; Rivera, however, started having regrets about having introduced Albanese to Addis.

One evening, when Rivera, along with her husband, met with Albanese and Addis at dinner, according to Rivera, Addis had an explosive temper; his face began twisting following an innocent comment Rivera made. After getting home, Rivera told her husband there may have been something wrong with Addis; she planned on warning Albanese and advising her to dump Addis.

The 1993 Honda Accord that belonged to Joann Albanese was discovered by a hiker three days after she vanished from her home; the vehicle was discovered in Little Hell's Canyon, near Prescott, Arizona.

In late 1996, a man labeling himself as John Stone walked into the Gold's Gym in Guadalajara, Mexico. He met Laura Liliana Casillas Padilla (1971–October 18, 2006).

In March of the following year, an episode of the television series Geraldo covering John Addis and the disappearance of Joann Albanese aired. A tipster subsequently telephoned the show and reported seeing a male with a similar description to Addis at the Gold's Gym. When the gym manager informed Stone a woman called the gym seeking someone who fit his description, Addis left the area.

In mid-October 1998, just over three years after Albanese disappeared from her residence, a hunter discovered the remains of Joann Albanese in Little Hell Canyon; several weeks following the discovery, Addis was classified under the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives and listed under America's Most Wanted beginning in November 1998 and extending until May 2005.

On October 18, 2006, nine years after he and wife Laura Liliana left from Guadalajara, their neighbors in Chiapas realized they hadn't seen Addis, his wife or his children for several days; when the neighbors inspected the Addis apartment, they noticed a pungent smell. Police entered the home and found Laura Liliana dead along with her two children atop their beds. Over twenty syringes were found near Laura's body.

Several weeks following Laura Liliana's murder, John Patrick Addis died from a heart attack at age 56. He was later buried in Guatemala.
