Someone at the ****************** forum under the name "Akoya" posted the text below. I think it's super interesting...
"I have read this communication from someone at NAMUS and I am very concerned and disturbed. I was the researcher who worked with Joe Velling and identified Lori Ruff. She was not Sandra Hopler or any of the other guesses that have come out of Websleuths. I have had no contact with anyone from the Seattle Times. Joe Velling is now retired and no longer a Special Agent in Charge for the Social Security Administration, in Seattle. Neither of us has released the identity or other information to anyone.
There are very compelling reasons why Lori Ruffs identity has not been released to the public by law enforcement agencies. It is unprofessional and irresponsible for any of these people to be making statements for or about Joe Velling or me."
Wouldn't Velling be obligated to release her identity to at least her husband, her next of kin? Or no? And as an investigator, Velling IS obligated to disclose his case findings and the results thereof to his superiors. If he has been retired for approximately a year, and she was identified approximately 6 months ago, then he had to have another Agent who took over the case and the rest of his caseload. I find it hard to believe that "no one" else knew of the investigative findings.So, I wonder if this means they didn't release the ID to the family...

As for "Akoya", thank you for your research. No one has disrespected you or Agent Velling. You may not see why people need to know who Lori really was, but there are definitely people who do need the truth.

So does this mean she is related to the L and Eric that we found with the same name from the same town??
I have no idea. The last I said to MDDM was lmk what niece says about the news.

Maybe this person is a fraud. You can't go to the government, the press, and the public and say help us with this mystery, then when its solved, just say forget we said anything. I wonder if this person had anything to do with this. Perhaps its a Baron Munchausen.
Why would "Akoya" respond on a forum where the thread relating to this case is over 12 months old and had approximately 18 posts when she/he posted? If you want to convey your concern, wouldn't you post here or on reddit where the case is being discussed at length on a regular basis?
Sorry for being suspicious but it seems odd to me.

Baron Munchausen...As in Syndrome? IE: Attention?

Is it possible to tell us where this is posted? I'm so hopeful it won't be kept a secret! Thanks!
