Searching for KJL

Comments: I found a lighter while cleaning out a deceased relatives residence. This relative died a violent death due to his nefarious lifestyle. I am sure he came by the lighter Thru less than honorable means. I would like to find a possible owner and the candidates should be fairly low in number as I do have all three initials of the owner. If anyone can direct me to a list of names or some other database I would be greatful. It would bring me great pleasure to return this as I'm sure it would have sentimental value to someone. I can be contacted by email or telephone. Cell phone is 417-299-5255. Thank you, Sean Taylor
