Let's talk about the mail. Pepe Silvia, this name keeps popping up over and over again.

I found these letters. Pepe Silvia, Pepe Silvia. This whole box is Pepe Silvia! So, I go to look up more about him, I'm trying to find his birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc. and what do I find out?! There is no Pepe Silvia, the man does not exist, okay?

So I decide I gotta dig a little deeper. I'm looking through census records, newspapers, obituaries, etc. There's no Pepe Sy- you gotta be kidding me! I've got boxes full of Pepe!

Alright, so, I start marching my way down to the county records office and I knock on their door and I say, "Hey Carol! Carol! I got to talk to you about some records for Pepe". We open the records and what do we find? There's not a single record for him in that office. There. is. no. Pepe in those records. The man's a ghost.
