The search is on for a homeless Missouri 'millionaire' with a penchant for drinking turpentine, after a family friend made a 'promise' to the man's mother.
St. Louis City Alderman Joe Vaccaro says he has not seen the man, Gary Schaefer, in"a couple of years." He is now trying to find Schaefer after making a promise to the man's dying mother to"keep an eye out" for her son few years ago. Vaccaro set up a bank account in Schaefer's name with"around a million dollars" in it, and the man is also said to draw a pension from the St. Louis Fire Department, where he had worked as a driver.
Schaefer seems like a memorable person. He is known to regularly ride a spray-painted bicycle while carrying the distinctive smell of a chemical solvent. According to the report, Vaccaro claims"he likes to drink a spot of turpentine for his health." Vaccaro says he had been working in his capacity as an alderman when a hearing he was involved with on the issue of homelessness reminded him of the man.
