The map on Namus opens to a different location than what is listed on the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences page. The address given is 18435 Morton Rd which has an accumulator business next to a grassy and wooded area which I believe is the one referred to on the Namus page. With...

Found this: Home The address is about 37 minutes from where the doe was found. I wonder if anyone has contacted the softball association to see if any players went missing or stopped showing up.

Is there any update from @othram on this baby?

As a migraine sufferer, this color is not a good choice.

Just a quick post to say I was approved to join! I will share the poster and if anyone has anything you think I should add, please let me know. It's late now, so I will post tomorrow.

I saved the poster as a jpg if anyone would like it that way. I think you should be able to put it directly in the body of the email so it's less likely to be seen as a "phishy" attachment. I was thinking maybe with the anti-gay attitude from some police at this time, that the man may not have...

I don't mind. I will give it a try.

I was thinking the same. We know he spent junior year in Medford, has it been addressed what he was up to between then and going back to John Day prior to his 18th birthday? I wonder if he had a summer job?

Found an article from the Times Tribune in Palo Alto, California, Wed, Apr 17, 1985. You need a subscription to view it, but the description in this article has the UID as a 35 year old white male, 5'7". I'm not 100% convinced that it's Farren, but I think it's close enough to warrant ruling...

The poster looks great @Ciriii57. Let me know if you hear back from TB. I found a bookstore in San Francisco called Bolerium Books. They have a large collection of Gay Studies (12,000 plus and some are NSFW) and it includes publications outside of San Francisco, like New York, Chicago, etc...

I finally got a response from someone! The GLBT Historical Society emailed me back. I let them know about Farren going missing and asked about the Tavern Guild Bowling League, the Bay Area Reporter, National Hotel, and CH just trying to cover everything I could think of. The reference...

<modsnip: quoted post was removed> I totally forgot about the bowling! I went back through the Bay Area Reporter and found two pieces, the first from April 1980 and the second from June 1980 about the Tavern Guild Bowling League. I wonder if we could figure out if Farren was involved. I also...

I like this stream of consciousness. Here's an additional thought. What if CH wasn't covering for Farren, but himself? What if he was the gay man and wanted to throw Farren's uncle and investigators away from the hotel? Maybe he remembered him because he had something to do with the...

It seemed like a fun place with lots of things to see and do. There were political groups, theater, clubs and things to get involved in. There were brief mentions of assaults and violence, but not a lot. Most articles gave me a good sense of community and that people looked out for each other.

I read through the April 10, April 24, and May 8, 1980 issues of the Bay Area Reporter. I didn't find anything that really stuck out to me. I did find an organization called Community United Against Violence. They were founded in 1979 and helped keep the community safe and helped them report...

Here are all the issues for 1980! I sorted by date, I'll take a look through as well...for research purposes of course. I recall very early in this thread a quote from his grandmother that said she wouldn't care if he was gay and the ad in the above paper indicates that she knew and just...

I sent a message to the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, I'm not sure if we did this already, but I know they're mentioned earlier in this thread. They were established in 1980 but didn't take over the National Hotel until 2016. The Associate Director told me she couldn't find any information on...

I think this would be a great idea! I've been hitting dead ends over here. I sent the ME another email and haven't heard back. <modsnip>
