It's one of the great disappearing acts of all time. Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has not been seen since the day he quit office in disgrace nearly two months ago.
He owns no known property and has been living at no fixed abode since leaving the executive mansion in Albany on August 23.
But in the eight long weeks since he moved out from 138 Eagle Street, the man who was everywhere when he was appearing in televised Covid press conferences for 96 days in a row has seemingly vanished from the face of the earth.
His only public utterance was when he posted three pictures of himself with a few days' growth of beard on a boat with his three-year-old Siberian husky Captain on Instagram last month.

Cuomo has no fixed address and is not known to own any property, but there has been plenty of speculation as to where and with whom the former governor may be living
'The fall bass run is coming & Captain is ready,' he captioned two shots.
'Captain's first albie,' he said in the third, referring to the false albacore he had caught. 'These little guys put up a good fight.'
As false albacore are found anywhere in the Atlantic from Brazil to New England, his pictures gave no hint as to where he might be.
When he quit, Cuomo, 63, told New York magazine, 'I'm not disappearing,' but that's exactly what he has done.
'I don't know what I'm gonna do,' he said. 'I have a voice, I have a perspective, and that's not gonna change.
But he said he didn't know where he was going to live.
The 63-year-old shared snaps of himself with a few days' growth of beard on a boat with his three-year-old Siberian husky Captain on Instagram earlier this month, but has given no hint as to where he might be
'The fall bass run is coming & Captain is ready,' he captioned two shots shared on September 28
'The details aren't really that important to me, to tell you the truth. I'm a New Yorker, I've lived (in Albany), I've lived in Queens, I've lived in the city, I've lived upstate, I've lived everywhere.'
'I don't really care about that. I'll figure that out.'
There has been plenty of speculation as to where the former governor may be hanging his hat.
Top of the list is Five Chimneys, the $2.9million home in Purchase, New York, owned by his sister Maria and her fashion designer husband Kenneth Cole.
That's where his belongings were taken when he left Albany. The move was so secretive the truck driver told the New York Post he was only told exactly where to go as he crossed the Tappan Zee Bridge - which Cuomo renamed to honor his late father ex-governor Mario Cuomo - ten miles away.
But if he's there, he doesn't seem to be taking advantage of the Golf Club of Purchase - despite it being founded by his brother-in-law - nor the J.M. Kendall Sculpture Gardens, a stunning park in the grounds of the Pepsico headquarters, and nobody seems to have seen him.

Cuomo had been the longest-tenured governor in the US at the time of his resignation and lived at 138 Eagle Street while serving his three consecutive terms
But Cole and Maria Cuomo also own an 11th floor apartment in Manhattan's tony Sutton Place that they bought for $14.5million in 2008 and a stunning oceanside mansion on Martha's Vineyard, so if they were to host him in his time of troubles, he would have plenty of options.
Others have speculated that he might be staying at the home of his close ally Jeffrey Sachs in Southampton on Long Island.
Sachs, an usher at Cuomo's 1990 wedding to Kerry Kennedy, is said to have put him up in his apartment near the United Nations in Manhattan when the marriage flamed out 13 years later.
The New York Post quoted 'multiple sources' saying Cuomo was at Sachs's $5million home near Agawam Lake.
But again the Luv Gov - as he called himself during an interview with his brother Chris
