It became clear through our research that Albert Lee may have stopped working at WVU because they thought he was a communist. In that era it was common for someone with liberal or anti-establishment views to be seen as a threat, or as "red" and it looked like ultra-liberal Philosophy professor Albert was a prime suspect. His philosophical human reaction tracking projects (i.e. the business card) didn't help his image either.
I went to the Morgantown Library on Spruce Street to do some research on other supposed red activity in Morgantown in the 70s and one name kept coming up, time and again: James Monroe. James Monroe was convicted in 1979 for terrorist activity, but before that, on January 27th, 1978 Monroe supposedly held a Bolshevik gathering at his home. In attendance at this gathering was none other than Albert Lee. The next day he was missing. Whatever really happened at Monroe's house would most likely lead us to the end of the Albert Lee mystery.
I wrote down the address of Monroe's last residence and packed up my bag. Turned out he didn't live far from the library, or from my apartment.
