The next morning Neville's daughter, who had come to take him to pick up Mrs. Goddard, phoned Carter saying 'I think Daddy went during the night'; Carter rushed over to find the body sealed off and the coroner, county officials, family and friends present. [Date evidence: the morning after Neville's death (historically 1 Oct 1972); Carter did not witness the death itself] [Place: Neville's home]
Verbatim (witness's words)
So the next morning, the phone rang, and it was his daughter, and she had come to get him to go pick up Mrs. Goddard, and she said, Frank, I think Daddy went during the night. Can you come over? I said, certainly, I'm on my way. So I rushed over, and when I got there, the body had already been sealed off. The authorities were there — the coroner, the county officials, and members of the family, and the daughter's friends.

Visiting the home the week after the death, Carter found a note prominently displayed beside Neville's big black leather armchair — three scripture quotations and one short sentence declaring the Last Supper his true experience and that Judas betrayed the messianic secret. [Date evidence: the week following Neville's death (early October 1972)] [Place: Neville's home, Los Angeles]
Verbatim (witness's words)
The following week I was in the home. Mrs. Goddard had returned from the hospital, and I went close to his big black leather armchair, the place where he spent so much of his time. There, prominently displayed beside the armchair on the table, was a note. There were three scripture quotations in one short sentence. This is my true experience of the Last Supper. Judas betrayed the messianic secret.
Neville (as quoted): "This is my true experience of the Last Supper. Judas betrayed the messianic secret."

Verbatim (witness's words)
The following week I was in his home, and I happened to go near his armchair, where he spent so much of his time, and there beside his armchair was a note. The note read, Isaiah 53, first verse, who hath believed our reports. Following that were the words, This is my true experience of the Last Supper. Judas betrayed the messianic secret. ... Now this note I found on Thursday.

The Thursday of the week after Neville's death Carter found beside Neville's armchair a handwritten note citing Isaiah 53:1, declaring "This is my true experience of the last supper. Judas betrayed the Messianic secret", and quoting Amos 8:11 and Isaiah 22:22–25 — which Carter took as Neville signalling he knew his death would fulfil scripture. [Date evidence: "The following week … this note I found on Thursday" — Thursday after 1 Oct 1972, i.e. 5 October 1972; Carter opens the document saying Neville "left two documents. One is a formal document and the other is a handwritten note"] [Place: Neville's home, beside his armchair]

Answering a question, Carter dated Neville's death to April-Fool's-Day-exact three and a half years earlier — October 1st 1972 — and said Neville was "here" (Los Angeles) from 1954 until his departure. [Date evidence: gives death date 1 October 1972 and LA residence from 1954; the 3.5-year remark also dates this Q&A to on/just after 1 April 1976 (the lecture series' third lecture is dated 6/20/76)]
Verbatim (witness's words)
Where did this man Neville teach and when did he pass away? Was that long ago or lately? It was exactly three and a half years April Fool’s Day. Again, the fool. He, I believe, was here from 1954, to the time of his departure in 1972, October the 1st 1972.

Barry, still in touch with the family in 1996, reports: daughter Vicki (b. 1942) lives in Los Angeles, uninterested in the teaching but executor of the estate and in charge of the books; son Neville Joseph Jr. ('Joe') lives in Barbados and wanted none of 'this Neville stuff'; Neville's wife died two years after him; and no written biography of Neville exists. [Date evidence: Vicki born 1942; wife's death two years after Neville's — c. 1974]
Verbatim (witness's words)
Yes, Vicki… she was born in 1942. She lives in Los Angeles. We’re in touch. She’s not interested in this at all. She is the executor of his estate, and has charge of the publishing of his books. His son, by the first marriage, lives in Barbados. His name is Neville Joseph, Jr., but he has always gone by the name of Joe. He didn’t want any of this Neville stuff. Freedom: His wife died, she followed him in two years. [...] No. There is no written biography of Neville.
