Hello, Like many of you, this has been my pet case. Like Tawni, I don't believe our JD has ever been reported missing to LE. Not because of lack of care or love, but, because of LE's laws and priorities at the time. I believe our JD had perhaps a history of being a runaway, which is why LE chose to ignore his family's plee of him missing.
A couple things I want to point out.
His t-shirt. When he was found, he was wearing a 30th anniversary t-shirt from the concert. Where is the shirt he was wearing prior to purchasing the t-shirt? Did he discard his original t-shirt? Did he change t-shirts in the van? If so, did LE take note on all the contents found inside the van after the accident?
The concert tickets. Where was his seats? If we could find out where the seats were, we could focus on that area in photo's of the concert. If the area wasn't photographed, we could contact people that were at the concert at the time. On Grateful Dead's website, there's a listing for people (with their contact info) listed. Once we find out where his seat was located, we could contact those that were at the concert. Did LE fingerprint the tickets? Do they still have the tickets?
His hair color. There's many discrepencies regarding his hair color. The majority states it was dyed. What color was his eyelashes? Eyebrows? Hair on his legs/arms? His pubic hair?
Drug/Alcohol history. His autopsy revealed no drugs or alcohol in his system. Was his hair tested for previous drug or alcohol use? However, I don't believe he had a history of either, for his teeth had no dental restoration and were perfect. However, that doesn't completely mean there was no history of drug/alcohol abuse.
I have this eerie feeling his name wasn't Jason. There was a cult like group that use to hang out at Grateful Dead concerts. (I don't remember the name of it and don't know if they still exist. I use to have a link regarding this information, however, my computer crashed last March and I lost all my notes and sites I had saved regarding our guy). This group believed Grateful Dead was evil and antichrist and they would pass out information to concert goers to pursway them from attending.
One of the leaders/organizers of the group was named Caroline. I think she was from Texas, please don't quote me on that. (However, Arlington, TX does have a 914 prefix) (I've spent the last four days trying to locate the information regarding the cult and Caroline, however, I can't seem to find anything). That Caroline was located, however, she was unable to recognize our guy. And that's all remember reading from the sites I had located previously.
One of my theories is, our guy was getting ready to attend the concert. Another guy (from the cult like group) approached our guy with an attempt to pursway him from attending the concert. He was probably given literature and perhaps mentioned an interest in the group. The guy from the group may have handed him the paper with the "Jason" note, then our guy shoved the note in his pocket, forgetting about it.
Who's to say our guy didn't get robbed or mugged after the concert or during? He had the money to purchase the t-shirt and ticket. Do most concert goers walk out of concerts with no money? Is that normal? I don't mean to ask ignorant questions, really. I'm not a concert goer so I have no clue.
For the past couple years I've also been trying to id our guy with missing young men listed on
cyberpages.com. As I mentioned above, I don't believe there is an official missing report for our guy. However, I do believe he was well cared for prior to his missing. At cyber pages (if you're not familiar) there's hundreds of families that have listed missing loved ones. Some of them even mention that there's no police report due to a previous runaway history.
There's two young men that stand out. However, I don't think either are a match to our guy. They're both from Canada.
First one is:
Douglas Richard Rosell Doug is now approximately 28 years old. Although no longer a child, he was diagnosed with a severe mental illness. He actually has every symptom in the book of childhood sexual abuse. We had a falling out about 7 years ago and he disappeared. I have been healing from severe child abuse issues myself, and was unable to help anyone until I healed myself (with alot of help along the way). Due to shock treatments I have lost alot of information that I should have, so please excuse the gaps in memory. I don't remember his birthday. He has dark blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes. The last time I saw him was in Langley, BC. He may have changed his last name to
Cheshon* (his birth mother's name). I am his adoptive mother. He only speaks English. He has no noticeable birthmarks. Height about 6', weight about 180 lbs. He does not wear glasses. He has been in and out of jail for a large part of his life (both BC and Alberta) and may be incarcerated now, but I do not know how to check that possibility. I would greatly appreciate your help in finding Doug, and if you are unable to do so could you possibly refer me to an organization who could help me? Thank you for your time.

Could the name (I highlighted in blue) be pronounced as Jason, since it is French? Also, there's conflicting reports on his eye color, some say blue, where others say brown.

http://www.cyberpages.com/minidb?pro...r=2002&month=3 I did send an email to the poster, however it bounced as an invalid email address. If there's anyone living in or near Langley, BC Canada, would you be able to find any information from your local LE?
The second person is:
Allan Robert Curtis
Birth date April 1973, Hair color Red, eyes hazel, skin fair (white). Allan lived with his father Arden Curtis and his Stepmother Rose in Hamilton, Ontario. The only language he spoke was English. Allan suffered from a mental disorder, he stopped taking his medication, because of this disorder he would become a intensive strong believer in Jesus last seen in British Columbia, had no identification on him. No Social Insurance, OHIP (Health Card), Drivers Licence, Passport etc. No known birthmarks to my knowledge. Went missing after returning from Australia in 1995, I think it was in the fall but not sure. His height approximately 165 pounds, height about 5 foot 11 inches. Do not know if he wore glasses City: Hamilton Email:

I did contact this poster and she sent me this photo:
Her posting is the reason why I question if LE tested his hair for previous drug/alcohol abuse. Also, I'd like for that one procedure to happen (if they still have samples) to see where he was from. I forgot what the procedure was called. It's what they did with Dupage Johnny Doe.
Well, that's all my notes that I have so far. I'm going to keep looking until we can ID him and send him back to his family.
Before I forget, being that the Grateful Dead band now supports
Obama for president, I think we need to write to Oprah, Caroline Kennedy, Robert Deniro, Obama, and any other celebrity to help promote our guy when they're promoting Obama.
