This article from 1998 names several Circus Chimera performers. http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Thrills-Come-Tumbling-In-Circus-Chimera-But-2991100.php
I might have missed it on here, but googling the flying rodogels brought me to the Ramon Bros circus. The Ramon family once were known as the Rodogel Brothers (performing in the us since 1983) according to their website. They were a flying trapeze act. The family now have their own circus (since 2005). Am I correct that this seems to be the same family/same act (flying rodogels)? If so, have they been contacted? I've read either here or on Reddit that a FB message was send to the owner of a circus, but I kind of figured it was the former owner of the Chimera Circus (where the picture of the guy in the striped shirt was taken) and not the Ramon Bros circus. But I'm very tired and might have just missed a bunch of stuff.
Ergh, I haven't even had time to catch up to figure out how we got onto suspecting that Lyle has connections to Circus Chimera, but the picture looked close enough to me to head into a rabbit hole trying to figure out if anyone was reported missing from the circus. Someone chronicled the last days of the circus on a blog, but unfortunately it only goes back to 2006...no mysterious disappearances yet...http://themudshowdiaries.blogspot.com
A disappearance may not have been suspicious. Performers drop in and out of tours very regularly due to injury, conflict, illness, money, change of lineup, etc. It's completely normal.
Mrsobrien have u contacted them? Wow this is more interesting each day. Hope he will be identified soon.

http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/cirque-du-soleil/The Cirque du Soleil is a Québec company that has revived the modern day circus and grown exponentially through the years with performances seen by nearly 15 million spectators worldwide.
I'm considering contacting the Rodogels directly, it's plausible that they have no current connection to the Circus Chimera owner.
I'm going to kick it around for a few hours. Not sure how to approach the topic sensitively, although I do have good communication intro material (read: industry name dropping, lol).
Suggestions are welcome.
I'm not good with nationalities/ethnicities, but I just looked up Bulgarians, and the images I found greatly resembled this JD.
I used to check this thread quite a bit when I was lurking....before I joined. Some amazing developments on this. I noticed some newspaper stories before when I was googling for photos of the circus. It looks like an elephant trampled someone involved with this circus in 2000. Just Google Kenya elephant trample. The stories should pop up. I wonder if this has anything to do with Lyle? Sorry if someone already posted this info. I tried to read through all the newer posts but might have missed some. My tablet is not being cooperative today.
