According to a newspaper report in the The Desert Sun, Boatwright was found unconscious in a motel in Palm Springs, California. He was taken to the emergency room at the Desert Regional Medical Center. When he awoke, it became apparent that the man was suffering from amnesia.
Boatwright suffered a complete loss of identity - only answering to the name Johan Ek - and could only speak Swedish.
