Massachusetts State Police said Monday 26-year-old Gregory Lewis is believed to have been in the Columbus, Ohio, area Sunday night and in the Indianapolis area before that. He was believed to be in the Denver area in early October, and in Portland, Oregon; Boise, Idaho; and Salt Lake City at mid-month.
