Mike, thank you for posting all that information!
Such a sad thing, how drugs have taken hold of the area. I'm from a small town outside Boston and the epidemic hasn't quite hit our town, but the skaters in our area have always been involved in drugs, so I can imagine it's even worse in your area where drugs are prevalent. Even with all the assumptions, people who disappear should be reported missing.
It's safe to say the UID didn't know Kyle or knew him very casually from traveling in the same circles. He most likely died in 2008-2009. It could have been drugs, but I'm also wondering if he could have sustained a head injury while skating and either wandered away or was dumped. If he was on the younger side of the spectrum, his friends could have panicked and thrown his body off the bridge. Unlikely, but in a community that has a poor relationship with the police, it's a possibility.
Do you have any idea how many kids skated at the Incline? Do you have any theories on why a kid would be hanging out in Howell if he wasn't from the town? I come from the kind of town where if you're not from there, you're from the next town over.
Btw - my college roommate was from Toms River!
