Re post #3: I was told the ID had not yet been made.
I have again inquired--via letter--to find out if this identification was made. I sent near identical letters to both Arcata Police and the Lander Cty NV Sheriff's Office. I doubt they will answer via snail mail; nobody much does any more. However, I enclosed my email. If I don't receive a reply in a couple of weeks, I'll phone them.

Lander County has confirmed via snail mail that the body found in their jurisdiction is indeed Kenneth Raymond Baker.
