If he was born in a New York hospital there will be a footprint on file.
Let the forensic people work.

Review: Whimsy, Horror and Missing Bones in ‘Hunter John and Jane’
Two lost souls (one literally back from the afterlife) meet in a gritty city park in Amina Henry’s overstuffed but empathetic play.I expect it could be better done.
Hunter John does not read as a necrophiliac.

Sikh Man Attacked in Hate Crime: ‘My Turban Really Saved Me’
A California man says his turban acted “like a helmet” when two men threw sand in his eyes, beat him up and told him to go back to his country last week.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism#Justice_and_equality
"Sikhism regards God as the true king, the king of all kings, the one who dispenses justice through the law of karma, a retributive model and divine grace.[98][26][27]
The term for justice in the Sikh tradition is "Niau".[98] It is related to the term "dharam" which in Sikhism connotes 'moral order' and righteousness.[98] According to the Tenth Sikh Guru Guru Gobind Singh, states Pashaura Singh – a professor of Sikh Studies, "one must first try all the peaceful means of negotiation in the pursuit of justice" and if these fail then it is legitimate to "draw the sword in defense of righteousness".[99] Sikhism considers "an attack on dharam is an attack on justice, on righteousness, and on the moral order generally" and the dharam "must be defended at all costs".[100] Pain, stated Guru Nanak, is poison and the divine name is its antidote. Forgiveness is taught as a virtue in Sikhism, yet it also teaches its faithful to shun those with evil intentions and to pick up the sword to fight injustice and religious persecution.[101]
Sikhism does not differentiate religious obligations by gender. God in Sikhism has no gender, and the Sikh scripture does not discriminate against the woman, nor bar her from any roles.[102]. Women in Sikhism have led battles and issued hukamnamas.[103][102][104]"
The storm troopers do not know what they are doing.
