Marcia King's identification was covered by every major news outlet including DailyMail where her story got 'shared' over 1k times with people endlessly criticizing the family for not identifying her & that was just for not reporting her missing... the boy in the box's case would get a tremendous amount of attention and the family would get a ton of judgment and hate given the abuse the boy in the box suffered.
So he doesn't deserve to be identified? Because his family might be slammed by internet trolls who critique what the family may not have done more than 50 years ago? I don't consider 1k views on a media story a media frenzy. I am pretty sure if I took a random survey of 1000 people within a few miles of my location none of them would have heard of Marcia King. Heck, it took me a minute to recall who Marcia King was.
Jon Benet and Caylee Anthony had media frenzy.....
What matters is they are id'd. They family has a choice as to whether or not they choose to read the Internet, media stories and comments from strangers who are mostly internet trolls. Internet trolls and extended family who may not have known he was missing, shouldn't be a reason to deny this child the dignity of getting his name back.
