An article on Buzzfeed:

Interwebs Now May Be Close To Solving A 20-Year-Old Cold Case | Need Public’s Help

In 1995, a crash killed two Grateful Dead fans. One unidentified. Now sites like imgur, Facebook, and Reddit users think they may be a step closer to giving him a name. Until now, he’s been “Grateful Doe.”

Been on websluthes for a couple years and just happened to come across this case a couple days ago. So first time posting here. I'm originally from Michigan but currently live in Myrtle Beach. Moved here 2005ish. Though I myself do not recognize him is there a Facebook page that I could share on my Facebook page. I have friends in Chicago and Myrtle Beach. Maybe someone would recognize him. I figure it couldn't hurt. How old was he roughly. Don't know if it will be helpful but you never know.

Well coming from someone who worked in news ages ago, I can tell you that most news directors would want more solid information before broadcasting... Unfortunately they may see this story as just rumor and hear say until they speak to an investigator. So maybe it was deleted because it didn't make the cut.

I currently live in the Charleston area and would be willing to help although I am short on spare time. If needed contact me directly.
I did pull up a few links to the area that may be a helpful starting point.

Charleston SC local news sites
https://www.facebook.com/live5news
https://www.facebook.com/WCBDNews2
https://www.facebook.com/abcnews4

Link to South Carolina News – Newspapers, Magazines, Radio, Television (there are phone numbers, college newspapers, magazines, radio stations and media links all located on this page.
http://www.sciway.net/news/

Charleston, South Carolina area high schools (link to all Charleston County schools in the district) http://ed.sc.gov/schools/district.cfm?ID=1001
Knowing this area I am going to link to IMO a few most likely.

BISHOP ENGLAND HIGH SCHOOL http://www.behs.com/
JAMES ISLAND CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL http://jichs.ccsdschools.com/
ST JOHNS HIGH SCHOOL http://stjohns.ccsdschools.com/
WANDO HIGH SCHOOL http://wandohigh.ccsdschools.com/

Also, posting to the university alumni fb pages might be a good idea- everyone seems to have gone to either Clemson or USC or has family members that have gone there.

CLEMSON ALUMNI https://www.facebook.com/clemsonalumni
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, UofSC ALUMNI, MY CAROLINA ALUMNI ASSOCIATION https://www.facebook.com/mycarolina

IMO
Since Hurricane Hugo hit this area in 1989 there has been an enormous amount of growth here. Many people and families were transplanted here during and after the clean up and rebuilding of the area. So, IMO this boy could have been a local and prior everyone knew everyone if that is the case.

This is also an area that has a navy base and an airforce base.

The Citadel is here, CITADEL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION https://www.facebook.com/citadelalumni


Also Folly Beach has been the local surf spot and the free spirited, hippie location in the area.
Sand Dollar Social Club https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sand-Dollar-Social-Club/222874344395728 Folly Beach has bands and "old hippie locals hang out"
There is not much of a music scene here but the Windjammer Bar http://www.the-windjammer.com/wp/ located on Isle of Palms had bands back then and may have been a local spot for a kid.

I do not use facebook myself or I might be getting these posted where I feel they would be most helpful in the local scene. These are my opinions only from knowing the locals and the city as a whole area. I hope I was able to help in some way. Good luck and great work.

:seeya: Hi there roxybelen~

Let us know if you hear back from the Windjammer. My daughter knows the owner and am sure we could get some info posted out there as well as other spots.

I have several ideas but am somewhat social media handicapped, lol. I am hoping to have my daughter help me but she is really tight on time.
I can cover this area (Mt. Pleasant/Isle of Palms/Sullivan's Island) and have a small business here that brings me in contact with bars and quite a few people in this age bracket.

Ask your sister what bars were over on Folly during the early 90s or where the bands played in the downtown area. Things have changed a lot and I wasn't living here at that time.

JMO

Also, am waiting for an "official poster" or something to print into flyers or post online. I do not have the skill to put one together but know one of the amazing WS folks here is probably on top of it. Please link if available anyone. Thanks.

Bumping.

It is certainly possible Doe was a Foster or Adopted child. But just not the one the Phish guy gave a ride to. Kind of depressing he ended up dead too.
