Former Mayor of Leola ARKANSAS, now believed to be in Idaho.
Former VFW Post Commander Sheridan, AR
Those that know him say he never went to Nam.
Claims
ex-Special Forces guy who was captured in Vietnam and spent 90 days in a
bamboo cage with 8 other US servicemen before being liberated and
repatriated. He is newly elected as Senior Vice Commander of Utah's
Disabled American Veterans. Claims that there were no records of
his being captured and imprisoned.

NOT A
POW
NOT SF
================
He always talked up his alleged Vietnam service and
time spent as a POW. However, many believed it was just a story
made up to explain his often outrageous behavior. He often told the
story that he had had to watch some of his comrades as they were skinned
alive. At any rate, Jim Randazzo was *never* mayor of Leola. It's
probably just another of his tall tales. |

Claims
former POW of the Vietnam era, a retired US Marine aviator, Colonel Karl
Rapp. Rapp claims he was not known by POWs held in Vietnam because
he (Rapp) was shot down over China and held there for four years.
Further, Rapp said he didn't want to talk about his experience
because it was due to his being somewhere he should not have been. |

Rasmussen, Robert, USA RET
This may be the same Bob Rasmussen (spelling is the
same) that I knew in Hawaii in 1998-1999. I lived in Irquois Point
Navy housing and he lived a few houses away. He claimed to be a
retired Green Beret. His story went that he was an orphan, parents
died in some horrible way, he grew up in several orphanages, at
first opportunity he joined the Army. Due to his austere childhood he
was "hand-picked" to enter Airborne, Ranger, and Green Beret
Training. Eventually did several tour in Vietnam, lots of hand-to-hand
combat, etc. Myself being in the Navy he was able to name drop a lot
of people that I knew and made his story almost plausible.
Went to his house a few times. He had the
typical CO's set up in a bedroom. Large wooden desk with the flags
behind it, big inert mortar rounds around the desk, lots of pictures
of him in his Alphas at various military functions posing with other
E-9's, and 8's and the obligatory racks of ribbons and pins. No
pictures from being in country.
Strangest thing was that he had a "verified
to be true" copy of his service record smack in the middle of
this desk. Contained within were his page 4's showing all these
schools he had been to in addition to an entry stating that he had
graduated from BUD's training because he was going to be stationed
there as a PEP billet instructor, early 80's I believe. He even had a
Budwieser on the desk with some story about being number one in his
class and at graduation the CO "removed his own pin and
pinned me".
Anyway, to make a long story short, he was
"retired" and married a gal who had just finished
college. He "made her" do four years as an enlisted person
so she "would know what its like" before he "allowed
her" to get her commission and enter the Intel Community. So one
night he tells me that he may be into something that could draw
attention to him. Of course he won't go into the details because he
doesn't want me getting involved. He's watching out for me, right?
A few days later I get a phone call at work from
my wife who says that this "SWAT" looking team has
surrounded his house (on base no less) and has him coming out the
front door with his hands on top of his head.
About a week later I'm mowing my lawn and his LT
wife comes home. She proceeds to tell me that her "husband"
is in no way shape or form who she thought he was, it wasn't even his
real name, he was never in the military, etc., and he is incarcerated
in a Federal Penn in Arizona.
Never saw him again, we wound up PCS'ing out of
Hawaii so I never got the real story on this guy. The picture definitely
bears a resemblance to him. About 6 foot one or two, a little
under 300 pounds, very articulate in military jargon but every
now and then he'd say something that would just make you wonder, like
everyone who has ever been through bootcamp in any service would not
make that mistake. Big guy, big picture that he painted, big lie that
he was living.....

DAYTONA BEACH --
... John Redigan, 59, head of the Association
for Retarded Citizens of Volusia, resigned after meeting Friday with
executive board members.
The board met with Redigan after a
Daytona Beach News-Journal article Friday raised doubts about the
validity of him being a Thunderbird pilot, a commander of a fighter
wing, a prisoner of war and a
Jacksonville Jaguars coach.
... |
2010 - Query: John Redigan...some
friends of mine recently met him on a European tour...he said he
was from Volusia County...was a former wing commander of USAF F-18
Unit....was a running back coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars...and was
a PW in Hanoi Hilton at approximately the same time I was
captive....'67-'73/ I never heard of him in any of those contexts.
..... years ago there was an article in the local paper here that a John
Redigan had been forced to give up his job as a director of a local
agency for retarded citizens, because he had maintained he was an ex PW
and a coach for Jax, and neither could be verified. He maintained that
it was true.
-------------------------------------------
Yeah, this is nothing new. We have
been tracking wannabe John Redigan for 2 1/2 years. He was
first noticed in Feb 11, 2006 with a news article from
News-Journal Online by writer Deborah Circelli.

PORT ANGELES - An ambush on Marines in
Naseriya, Iraq, brings painful irony to a Port Angeles father.
His son, 23-year old Brendon Reiss, is
now listed as missing in action. Brian Reiss knows all too well what his
son may be going through.
He was shot down and listed as missing in
action three times during the Vietnam War. Reiss worries that if his son
has been captured, he may be tortured......

He claimed to have been in special ops and a tunnel rat, among
other things. He had a uniform hanging in one picture. This
blouse had the kind of ribbon rack you see made up by people by
pinning SEVERAL racks on a blouse, with no sense of historical
order, precedence, or even branch of service ( WWII ribbons,
some Air Force ribbons, and a full-size Silver Star Medal on the
other side of his blouse. It all flashed by so quickly it was
hard to see what all he had. A nametag on it said both Colonel and Doctor on it, as well as his name. He
was knighted by Prince Charles. That's how he came by the

"....He dealt with these emotions for months and
he used inner strength — the same strength
that helped him survive torture and starvation as a prisoner in
Vietnam in 1965. He was 24 when he and 21 fellow Marines were
captured in the jungles of Phubai, south of the city of Hue.
Like other soldiers, Rodriguez was crammed into a
bamboo cage that was lowered underground. He survived by eating rice
and insects before he was rescued...."

quite a bit of his time in-country as a POW. As a POW, he was beaten

periods of "attempted subversion," as he put it, at the
hands of his torturers he would focus on one of his favorite foods
at McDonalds to get himself through it.
