HOMICIDE DETECTIVES IDENTIFY “JOHN DOE” VICTIM IN 1978 COLD CASE MURDER AND SEEK PUBLIC’S HELP IN DEVELOPING INVESTIGATIVE LEADS

So the Long Beach John Doe 1978 posted previously is Kenneth Nevada Williams- they finally identified that doe in Sept 2022. It was a good choice though!! Shows people are searching the files and archives hunting for Michael. McCool!

Bump!!!
Did the brother ever give a description of the two males?

Bumping!

Sadly, there is very little info on Michael.
All that's really known is he was last seen by his brother talking to 2 males. Where was this..at work or on his way home? Where these men on foot or in a car? How far was the Acme to his home?

Poor boy. It sounds like he was last seen at work, not at home, doesn't it? Did he disappear during his shift or leave and disappeared afterwards before he could go home? Who saw him talking to the men, and why is there no description of the men nor was there an attempt to make reconstructions of these men?

I wonder if police files are still available for more information. This just feels like a case where there should be more details but the details are missing.

Michael's older brother seen him talking to 2 men in the afternoon..but no description or location. Vague!
Agreed, access to police files would be helpful with this case. So little info
