I think it is important to make sure that we have reasonable information that points to a match and that no facts about the case conflict and rule out a potential match before we send it to LE. LE will take us more seriously if we do this and are more likely to check out leads/tips we send to them if we do quality research and catch the, "rule outs" ourselves.
Perhaps if any of us think we have found a match it can be posted here or any forum that is researching a particular case first. We can each dissect all of the information to both find anything that would rule out a match and search for as much info on the possible match as possible. Then we can be reasonably assured that there is still a potential match. This way we have done our jobs thoroughly, and LE will be more likely to listen to what we have to say in this case and in future cases.
The dates for Hurricane Charley versus the date Benjaman was found do match. But, with all that could have happened and that we have no info leading us to believe he was a victim of that storm we need to do more research before turning in his name. For example, we need to research if there are still any missing or even at this point declared dead believed to have vanished/perished in Hurricane Charley who fit Benjaman's description. If so, them we might possibly have something.
