Take two...lol[Note: I'll just use initials of people found in Hoover yearbooks as CarlK did so previously in Bell Boy's thread, so I presume that's within the rules.] The closest name I could find to Jeff Dodd in any of the mid-70s (I looked at 1973 through 1977) San Diego Herbert Hoover High School yearbooks was JD (last name not being Dodd, there were no Jeff Dodds in any of the yearbooks). He was in the 1976 yearbook as a sophomore, but not in the 1977 yearbook. That would be consistent with what you were saying about how your brother may have later gone to a continuation/alternative school. In addition, he looks somewhat similar to the unidentified, in my opinion. The next closest was another person with the initials JD, but he was in three yearbooks from 1973 to 1975, which would probably make him too old to be your brother or the unidentified person. Here is the picture for the 1976 JD (I can't seem to get it to show up on the forum post because I've never tried it before, but the link will show it): Dropbox - 2019-08-09 at 12.16.44 AM.png
I’ll try to link <modsnip: removed broken photo link>
I lost my brother when he was seventeen (suicide), so I understand how you feel. The main difference is that I know how he died and what happened to him. I always wondered whether not knowing was worse than knowing your loved one was dead and their killer was still loose. I think, horrible as it may be, I'd go with the latter, because then at least one avenue of questions is closed up.
