An update to this story indicates that the UID is likely a male.

Carl,

It's amazing how close rocklin, roseville, and citrus heights really are to each other. I moved to citrus heights about 7 months ago. Did you see if there are any from rancho Cordova, fair oaks or even Folsom? They are also within 20 miles of Roseville.

There are three missing females from Rancho Cordova, but we've already learned that the UID is likely male.

Rancho Cordova (Males):
Martin Alan Gentry (1986)

Fair Oaks (M or F): None

Folsom (M or F): None

I could not find anything that suggested someone had filed a missing report for Gary. That always saddens me, no matter what sort of life they have had - after all they are someone's son brother and most likely someone's father. But CarkL's list also made me pause for thought. Martin Gentry has been missing for26 years - where is he? And some of the others on the list had been missing for almost as long. I can not imagine not knowing what happened to a family member for 26 long years.

This is my little brother Gary Allen Berger. We did have missing person report out on him Dec. 2010. Yes he was a father, son, brother and grand father and was truly loved by us. We as a family have many questions to his death and not sure where to turn. Still waiting for a report. He did see a doctor we think at ER just before this. We think he was staying in the camp upstream that was "cleared out". Not a huge raging river. looks like a slow moving creek. Blessing is when his clothes deteriorated from his body a branch down steam caught his pants pocket with his ID. The DNA was done with my dad in Calif. bringing us some closer.

PS: I found it VERY hard to get signed up and post. this is my 3rd attempt and I belong to a few professional forums. I seen you guys talking about my brother and tried to join last month but gave up. Also I liked the call on Susan Powell. I have known Chuck and Judy Cox for years and have been on this roller coaster with them from the beginning. Didn't know back I'd be dealing with a missing person either.
