How do you mean? I did a quick google search, and I don't see any overlap (like JM#2 existing while JM#1 was alive). The closest thing to that is the facebook page. I'm just assuming as part of this that new JM got access to dead JM's accounts and kept them going after he passed. If you look, there's an activity gap.
Its still a fair warning - may be nothing but a very unusual coincidence. How many John Smiths are there?
Here's a clue: Do a facebook search on Joe Mordica. There's only one. So is the theory that there were two Joe Mordicas in the same small city, but now only one exists in the universe with a facebook page?
It could be that Joe Mordica is traveling around the world eliminating other Joe Mordicas. A more reasonable explanation is that he stole a dead man's identity.
Come on, how is that reasonable?
A reasonable explanation would be that even if the other Facebook page existed it might have been removed (e.g. by relatives) after the person committed suicide. And not everyone is/was on Facebook, more so in 2012.
What I'm trying to say, based on a bit of googling it's very likely there are at least two persons with the same first/last name, different middle names (Payne/Anthony) and different ages (20s/30s), Southern Miss (USM) is a big school in that part of the country, so I don't think there is any soap opera going on here
