Perhaps releasing the identity would help locate next of kin….

I’m sure if it was your next of kin found in the river dead, you’d be happy to read about it in an online news brief. Or maybe while you’re driving along on Briceland Thorn Road you get to hear about it from KMUD.
What is wrong with you?

I think there are different ways of looking at this. I know I’d rather learn about it online than never learn about it. And, I don’t know why learning about it online is all that much worse than having a strange police officer call you.

I think if it were my family member, I would surly like to know before everyone else. Just saying….

If law enforcement isn’t able to find kin without giving out his name, should they hold off releasing it forever?

How is this news, vs repeating what was already reported on? The fact that they Identified him?

His name was Dorgy…he was a quirky, sweet, lost, homeless, addicted but reaching-out-for-help kind of soul. He was in Humboldt for some time… came from Russia but looked South East Asian. May he rest in peace and prayers for his family and friends. Also, if my gut is right…may Justice be served.
