I'm always wondering about Bob Harrod:

The LA Medical Examiner-Coroner page for this UID gives an interesting detail that is not mentioned on NamUs.

Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner

Skeletal remains fnd in a Palmdale desert well on 7/13/20- had been there since at least 6/13/20. Found document(s) reflected the name/ DOB of- Eduardo Noriega Arroyo, DOB 12/08/1991. A 2nd set of skeletal remains also found in the well- reference Coroner Case Number 2020-06305.

I couldn't find the NamUs or LAMEC page for the second set of remains, even though they are both mentioned on the NamUs and LAMEC pages for the first set. I hope that person has been identified already.

Thank you for responding Iulia, I had a heart attack, because I have a friend with a very similar name, living in the same area but different birthday and Middle Name but not him. I did some research on Facebook, ended up finding a family member in Mexico looking for the man , whom his name on the papers. I forwarded her the links to the info, she will contact the detectives to see if it is their missing Uncle or if they need to provide DNA. Hope they can get answers and closure. This is in my area, which is desert. There has been an increase a lot of cartel activity and big illegal pot grows in the remote desert recently.

Wow, I'm glad that it wasn't your friend, that would have been terrible to find out this way.. I appreciate you reaching out to the family searching for their uncle. While it would be a terrible outcome, at least it could bring them some closure.
