Have you seen this man?

I thought this article in the Post this morning was fascinating.  Not being a native Washingtonian, I didn't know the story of Brad Bishop, a foreign service officer with the State Department who bludgeoned his wife, mother, and three sons to death in Bethesda before driving to North Carolina and burning the bodies in a bathtub.  He's disappeared 30 years ago this week after committing the crimes and despite reported sitings around the world, he remains at large today.  He would be 69, if he's still alive.

Everyone seems to forget about the family that he left behind. I went to the same jr. high school (Pyle)as the eldest son, Brad. I remember that he used to ride my bus home to visit with his best friend Brian. He was so adorable, I'm sure that I wasn't the only one to have a crush on him. I'm 44 now and I have never forgotten the shock and horror of what happened to this family. In one evening, an entire family was wiped out in such a cruel and disturbing way. I guess that I just wanted to say that I have never forgotten, even after all these years.

Was Brent Bishop the name of one of the sons?
I have a memory of playing soccer with him. I remember hearing about the murder through friends. Parents really were good at covering up bad craziness like that back then. It was never spoken of in public. I appreciate that so much now.
