Are there any updates on Farren's case?
Hey, did anyone ever do this? It’s a great idea!Hi all!
Has anyone tried to contact the San Francisco Public Library or San Francisco City Hall to use research in answer to the above questions? @Ciriii57 and I are really hoping for a National Hotel April 1980 Registry List! Is the National Hotel still in operation today?

Actually I thought you did ! hahaHey, did anyone ever do this? It’s a great idea!
Yehhh, I asked myself the same question.Hey, did anyone ever do this? It’s a great idea!
But, the big question remains,sadly it seems like he might have committed suicide...
if he was already having mental health issues, losing his job and his mother refusing to send him more money might have pushed him over the edge...it would also explain why he left all his belongings behind...
if for example he had jumped off the Golden Gate bridge it wouldn't have been unusual if his body had never been recovered..
it seems like suicide...he leaves home as soon as he turns 18...
at that time most people left home..in the late 70's and early 80's i didn't know anyone who stayed with their parents..he would get a job and leave home go to college or the military...
no one wanted to live with their parents once they were 18...
i'm probably exaggerating a bit but i couldn't help but think "maybe some kind of cult?". then again since i was in san francisco in 1980 maybe he was lgbt and didn't want to tell his grandma? Maybe the young people he met validated and accepted him while his family would not have... I certainly don't want to cast doubt on the family in that regard, especially since he says he had been in contact with his grandmother and aunt every week up until that point... it's possible he may have even been infected with HIV and escaped with these people who may have offered him help...
whatever the case
may he rest in peace
But, the big question remains,
Why would Farren want to punish his grandmother, Beulah, by committing suicide? He loved her more than anything and she loved him tremendously! Why would he want to hurt her by doing this?
