Michelle, i hope that if the UID is indeed your brother, that he gets the proper justice he deserves for being a kind soul and calm and loving person.

Hi Feme98,
Thank you so much. I've been trying so hard the last few days to convince myself that this young man isnt my brother but the morgue photo looks exactly like my brother.
I'm struggling emotionally because I just love him so much & this hurts so bad. There was so much more to my brother than anyone knows.
I was severely physically & emotionally abused by my mom & many times while she was beating me he'd purposely keep asking her to stop Because he knew she'd then direct the abuse onto him in order to stop me from being beat.He'd just go into a sort of fetal position and cry & he never fought back. My brother took really good care of us & loved us & he was our only source of love.
He was very quiet, shy, gentle & I can't imagine anybody who would or could want to kill him.
After he left home he continued to visit us & call us weekly and it all suddenly stopped. I know in my heart my brother would've never abandoned us.
I also remember that my grandma was helping him by helping him pay rent & she got him clothes & he loved her very much & he also suddenly stopped calling my grandma.
Something happened to my brother and I've searched for him for many years. I miss him so much & I'm so hurt.
Its so hard for me to even imagine anyone could hurt such a kind hearted human being.
I did report him missing a few days ago & I have no idea how long it takes for me have answers but i appreciate everything the coroner, police & the kind people at webslueths have done to help identify him.
Thank you,
Michelle

Michelle,

With no doubt your brother was a wonderful and caring soul, I can’t imagine what you are going through and in case that a match is done, we can hope for justice for his unjustified murder. I myself have a sister and a brother and I’m the oldest sibling from us three and I’ve always been caring towards them. We haven’t been through any sort of abuse but have felt this need of support and care for each other.

Let’s hope for answers and for closure for the UID, and that everything goes well.

 

[BelieveNknowucan2]

Thank you so much for your support and concern. I normally don't talk very much about my feelings and it's out of character for me to open up but I think it will help me emotionally and i feel it will help in getting my brother identified.
I know I'm jumping ahead without any proof that he is my brother and I shouldn't do that and if I hadn't seen the morgue I wouldn't be saying or feeling the way I do.
I haven't been able to watch many of the videos that are about Kraft however I did read a few articles. I can't believe this monster has not been put to death.
Do you know why Kraft hasn't been executed? He killed approximately 61 innocent men and from what I read he isn't remorseful & won't answer any questions so why is he allowed to live after what he's done.

I can enter your brother into Namus if an official report has been filed. I'd need a link or copy of the report to go off of.

Perhaps, they need Kraft for questioning regarding other possible murders that he might have committed.

 

[Liv27]

Is there any updates regarding this case?

 

[Blurgle]

I do have a piece of info re. a question asked on page 1.

Someone asked if the unidentified person might have attended a baseball game that day. The Dodgers were on the road but the Angels were indeed playing in Anaheim. From my personal memories some teams stamped hands and others didn't, although I don't know if the Angels did or not. (Nowadays they don't because for security reasons fans aren’t allowed to leave and come back.)

Michelle, you can submit your DNA to Namus to test for a match with this UID. And even if not a match, all UIDs will be ran for a possible match.

I think it’s her foster brother so there wouldn’t be a DNA match.

Hi Michelle -
I echo everyone else on here with best wishes for you with your health and with your search for your brother. In briefly looking around, I see that Hoover HS in San Diego has a fairly active alumni group. It may be worthwhile (if you have the energy) to reach out to the contacts for the years your brother may have attended and see if they could put you in touch with any of his friends from that time period.
Class Contacts – HOOVER ALUMNI ORGANIZATION

All the best to you in your search and I hope you keep us informed.

DEFINITELY something for Michelle or one of us to look into.

This is the only logical and useful thing to do for her

He’s not her biological brother so it wouldn’t work. He’s her foster brother.

Because all Californian governors after Schwarzenegger were against capital punishment and now Newsom de facto abolished death penalty in California that's why Kraft is already alive and will spend all his useless life in prison until his death.

Michelle, can you recall if your brother gave any signs that he wanted to live somewhere? I think he took off to stay with friends in the meantime, I truly want he to be ID, he deserves justice and if he’s anything that you describe, then heaven has an special place to such protecting and lovely soul.

Hope you are doing well,
you have our support.

Ignacio.

Also, strangulation is very rare on male victims, makes me think that he might’ve been homosexual and possibly rejected his killer’s advances, as it was stated on the first posts, he could have attended Ripples. Hence the “Paid” stamp.

I’m unsure if it’s inappropriate to ask, I apologize in advance. Do you recall if Jeff could have been homosexual?

 

[Feme98]

This case in particular has touched me since i first learned of it. Makes me upset the cruel fate he went through, I pray he’s identified soon.

Rest In Peace, Long Beach John Doe.

You are not forgotten and we are still seeking for answers and justice for you.
