Bumping for Garren.

Hi - just joined WS because of my interest in this case and hoping to bring renewed interest and discussion to Garren. In my research I found this article that I was surprised had never been mentioned in this thread before.

Two men are charged with battery in Hobart tavern fight

Does anyone find this interesting that MK (the guy who's house mysteriously exploded) and RS (Garren's cousin) were involved in a violent crime of this nature only 2 years after Garren's disappearance? Could be a total coincidence but at a minimum, it shows they are capable of a seriously violent act AND that they could've acted together. Does anyone have any additional info on this "bar fight" and whether it could possibly be related to the case? Would love to hear from people who have followed this case or the close family members or friends that have commented on this thread.

As far as the fight in the bar that's a far stretch to connect it to a murder! This area is next to Gary Indiana and we all grew up in the next city over

You learned how to fight in our neighborhood at a young age!

An Ashland man who went to visit friends and family last month in the Midwest hasn't returned, prompting friends in Oregon to report him missing, Ashland police said.
"We feel it's kind of suspicious," said Ashland police Lt. Corey Falls, adding that police wanted to seek the public's help before any more time passed and the potential trail grew colder.
Garren Rudolf Beller, 38, of the 400 block of Liberty Street, Ashland, went to visit friends and family in Indiana and Illinois Nov. 15. He was last seen at Chicago's Union Station later that week and was scheduled to arrive in Portland via Amtrak on Nov. 21, police said. A friend went to pick him up in Portland, but Beller never arrived, police said. No one has heard from him since, Falls said.
A roommate called Ashland police Nov. 25 to report Beller missing.
"We are trying to get as much information as we can to piece together the details," Falls said.
Investigators are coordinating with law enforcement agencies in other states in an attempt to figure out who Beller had visited and where he might have gone.
"Hopefully, he just took a long vacation," Falls said.
Police have no information that a crime has been committed, a fact that has slowed investigative efforts, Falls said.
Beller has worked in construction. He is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 200 pounds, police said. When last seen, he had shoulder-length light brown hair and wore a quarter-carat diamond earring in his left ear.
Investigators ask anyone with information about Beller and his whereabouts to contact Ashland police Detective Rick Spence at 482-5211 ext. 2172.

Here are tattoos on the unidentified person. Does anyone know if Garren had these?

Tattoo
On the upper left side of the back there is a tattoo of the letters "NE" written in old English script. Lower abdomen has two joker style face tattoos that are dark in color and mouths are open. Tattoo on left shoulder blade looks like the letter N and part of a pitchfork or the letter E.

ETA: False Alarm— I dug a little deeper and here is a description of Garren’s tattoos:

Beller has a tattoo on his back, a tattoo of a scorpion on his right shoulder.
