Leonard speaks of a murdered nephew Fred Alvarez in his account: https://archive.org/details/LowryLeonard/page/n145

• The Desert Sun (Palm Springs, California) 03 Jul 2011, Sun Page 14 at: https://www.newspapers.com/image/195074725/?terms=%22fred%2BAlvarez...
  • This Fred Alvarez died of a single gunshot wound to the head: discovered on July 1, 1981 in Palm Springs.
• Fred went to Utah State before and evidently threw the high school discus or shot put in Lassen Co. in 1966.
  • if Fred was in HS in '66 then he's have been born in about 1950. This may mean that Fred is not a true nephew but rather a descendant of Marcus Alvarez who was married to the widow of William Lowry
    • indeed: the newspapers reported he was 32 at the time of his death: https://www.newspapers.com/image/244189144/?terms=%22fred%2BAlvarez... . Indeed, the back page to the same article states that his mother's name is Phyliss
