SEATTLE - The man who made headlines after he was found in Seattle suffering from amnesia has now turned up in New Mexico, with the same problem.

According to our newspaper partner, The Seattle Times, police in Las Vegas, New Mexico, found Edward Lighthart wandering the streets with no apparent memory of who he is.

Las Vegas is a city about 65 miles east of Santa Fe.

A psychologist finally figured out who the man was after searching the Internet and finding stories about Lighthart's history in Seattle.

Lighthart wandered out of Discovery Park earlier this year with no memory of who he was or how he got here.

Lighthart is now being kept at a hospital until officials can decide what to do with him.

No offense to "Mr. Doe", but he should stay in one area and tap into Mr Lighthart's bank account and hire a personal assistant.. The news reporting him going from city to city with the same ploy makes him out to be a con-artist...
