Call Me Commander by Jeff Testerman and Daniel M. Freed.
When Lt. Commander Bobby Thompson surfaced in Tampa in 1998, it was as if he had fallen from the sky, providing no hint of his past life. Eleven years later, St. Petersburg Times investigative reporter Jeff Testerman visited the rundown duplex Thompson used as his home and the epicenter of his 60,000-member charity, the U.S. Navy Veterans Association. But something was amiss. Thompson’s charity’s addresses were just maildrops, his members nonexistent and his past a black hole.

He had his photo taken with political luminaries such as President George W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani, Karl Rove and others. ....

CLEVELAND, Ohio – They hid from their pasts beneath dilapidated porches and atop thin rooftops of crumbling homes. One even squeezed into a laundry dryer.
Some moved away and changed their names. Others used family, neighbors and strangers to try to elude capture. ....
