After only 5 years of constanlty staring at this letter I feel as though I have definitely deciphered the first page of the letter. Started when I realized that the bottom line was "anybody discovers me"

Man, this makes me really sad. Thank you for deciphering this.

I was looking the UID up in NamUs. There are still the same 23 exclusions and Mark Husk is not one of them. But I noticed there is another UID, just a skull, found in July 2003 a few miles away between Rifle and Silt on the Colorado River. I think this would be downstrem or downhill from Flat Top JD's camp. There was speculation earlier in this thread that FTJD may have had a companion, given the 2 cups and 3 canteens. The skull is identified as male so seems less likely it belonged to "Lib", but could it be related? The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
I didn't see a WS thread for this second UID.

I'm not really sure about this, judging by the note i believe he may have committed suicide. It would be very odd to bring a companion along for that.

I'm not sure most have interpreted this as being a suicide note. Take a look back in this thread for other theories, for example: CO - CO - Garfield Co, WhtMale 35-65, 789UMCO, skeletal in tent, Sep'04

That is incredible. This summer I plan on visiting the discovery sites of all the Does in Colorado, I'll be sure to document this one well.

"Reka" means "river" in Russian. As far as I know there is no river with that name in Western Ukraine. The way it is written on the first page it doesn't look like Russian/Ukrainian reference to me.

There is also Angoy in Severobaikalskiy District of Russia. OR Angoy, Callao, Peru.

Definitely some similarities, but I wonder if he had any connections to Colorado? If he wanted to commit suicide in the woods there are plenty of remote wooded areas in Wisconsin.

I was wrong! Just got an email from the Colorado Coroner and Mark Husk has been ruled out through DNA. He is not Flat Tops John Doe!

Dang! It was a really good prospect, though. Thanks for working so hard on this rule-out. Mark could be anywhere!

I'm genuinely surprised by this. I almost can't believe he isn't a match!

I wanna go!

Are you local to CO?

 

[HmmMysterious]

I think I spot a name on the second page, fourth line.

It spells out "Vera Hill". Or at least it looks like a "Vera Hill" to me.

 

[PawneeDew]

Are you local to CO?

Yes, the Springs..I Love it! But there's a lot of creepy places, the abandoned bridges, old railroad trestles, drainage tunnels, lots of hidden places, places I want to explore..lol. There's a lot of history here, too.

I thought I read a news article that said up to 75 to 200 Does unidentified..I'm not really sure, tho. I need to research more...

I'm up north in Larimer County. There are 93 cases in Colorado in NAMUS, but I know Weld County has at least 5 that aren't in NAMUS and who knows how many in Denver Co, Jefferson Co, El Paso, etc.

Hey, thanks for the info. I have visited Ft. Collins, big college town. I wonder why an unidentified body would not be in Namus? Hmmm. I really Hope that's not a stupid question. I will look it up, lol
