I think Joann is Joann Margaret Ortiz and Linda is her mother, Linda Ramos. Unsure how they're related to him, though. Maybe a son/grandson?

Definitely agree.
The owner of this Ancestry tree certainly can help here, if he is alive and well.

Hello. This case is going to be closed soon. I was able to locate the family and called them. They are going in this weekend to confirm the body but his aunt said that she knew it was him based on the tattoo description.

 

[Deleted member 348272]

Yes, this is correct. Joann is his mother and Linda is his grandmother.

Oh geez, it was his family tree that I found.

I came here to say the same. The namus profile is now removed.

You did good, @victoriarobinson642 .

So glad Gabriel didn't have to wait long to go home.
