Makara; Thankyou for following up the query raised in DA's AMA. I've passed what you've found in relation to H.C. Reynolds from Southampton to 'Tombsbytwo' should someone there find time to look deeper into Asturias' passenger lists. It's always possible other significant names like 'Keane' could turn up in the process, but as always it's seems a matter of patiently digging through the haystacks. Derek Abbott has no interest in discussing nor exploring the Reynolds I.D. and he makes that very clear when there's any mention of the I.D. match from contributors. His only focus is to have SM exhumed and to run his DNA experiment.
The cipher mysteries blog popped up as a collaboration between DA and Pelling and created to dismiss the positive comparative facial match between SM and the photo on the H.C. Reynolds I.D.. They are yet to produce a photo for their Tasmanian chap Horace Charles Reynolds to confirm it's the same man as pictured on the I.D..
The Attorney General has again refused DA's exhumation request...whereas Adelaide Major Crime have not dismissed the Reynolds I.D. from their inquiries and these matters are ongoing. Some things aren't always straight forward. They're not always quite what you expect. They may be more complex than you imagine... however progress is being made, and in turn, will be reported. That process is in the hands of others, so I'm waiting to see what happens next, just like every one else.
