Apparently I was wrong and Mr. Mothe knows the exact location of the grave?!

LA - LA - Belle Chasse, WhtMale 16-17, UP88342, hanged, suicide note, Feb'75 #2

Thank you for finding this post; I remembered reading it but couldn’t find it.

I wish @othram would reach out to the investigating LEA.

 

[Lebowski]

I have written down that they won't reopen without consent from family, but since family is not known, it's kind of at an impasse. I think this was mentioned in the first thread on the case, if someone can locate it.

how can someone take that position when the body is a doe? maybe it's just a blanket rule and it was written without does in mind?

anyway, i'm sure with a court order their internal policies wouldn't matter.

how can someone take that position when the body is a doe?

I agree, because he could still have relatives who would find peace in knowing. Not to mention this is a case for which people would crowd-source the funding.

 

[snooptroop88]

Am taking it there's no information from the autopsy. (?) I know the ME was involved, I saw that in the thread. Agreed with the people on here holding out hope that somehow, access is available and will be granted on the remains

And just noting, found multiple photos for Bayard Cousins on his thread, including this photo posted by @Romulus :

....Compared to BCJD

Agreed, prominent teeth, and definite resemblance jmo on this image (think nose looks somewhat broader for Bayard, but jmo and may be camera angle). Nose looks more narrow on this image, also on Bayard's thread:

Bayard William Cousins

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Bayard Cousins left his residence while his parents were out of town. They came back to a note stating not to worry about him. There were no indications of any issues with Bayard prior to his disappearance. He has never been seen or heard from again. Bayard is fluent in Spanish and was an ecology activist.

Received a reply back from FACES. There are factors as to why DNA testing has not been performed.
Records were lost during Hurricane Katrina and the Cemetery is known but there is not a marked burial plot. They are working with agencies for resolution and hope that one day, DNA testing can done.

Agreed, I think this one would be crowd funded in record time!

 

[mpnola]

I'm definitely in on that crowd funding

 

[methodwriter85]

Crowd funding would be big on this case. This poor kid. Even if it's not Bayard, there's a good chance he has relatives (perhaps siblings or cousins) that are still left. But 15-20 years from now? Probably not. That's why it needs to get done now.

Puritan shirt of this boy is from Massachussets

Locations New

Hyannis Chatham Mashpee Falmouth Vineyard Vines "I'd rather make a friend then a sale."

puritancapecod.com

Raymond Louis Barabe is also missing from Massachussets...Quote post from Beekarina

We do know the brand. It is mentioned several times in the original thread. Escapes me at the moment, but I was to say it is Puritan, or something along those lines. if you search it will come up. There was discussion about the brand being made on Cape Cod, but then also a Puritan brand bought at some point by Walmart. Seems to be two levels of garment as I still see Puritan brand on Cape Cod.

A bit higher end, but not exceptionally so--think a family with some means:

Men's Shirts

Shop the brands you love from the store you trust. Puritan is a third generation, family owned and operated clothing store for over 100 years! Shop an amazing selection of today's best brands for men and women at their luxurious stores in Hyannis, Chatham, and Mashpee Commons.

puritancapecod.com

And then Walmart, which is for the "masses". I have no idea when the "Puritan" clothing began to be sold there, or if the two are related. Just showing you as I know you are outside the US. It costs about $10 vs $140. View attachment 487727 Hope this helps!

ok, i'm interested and sympathetic in both cases, but i'm honestly not seeing what makes you think these are a match. there are some general consistencies, but that's about it.

Five years just seems like an awfully long time for someone to survive being on the streets as a runaway. And the way the note was written did not come off like someone who only had a 6th or 7th grade education.

 

[cenazoic]

This is absolutely neither here nor there, but I totally HATE that colorized image.

I think it’s the weirdly (and too-) pink lips, and how the AI uncanny valley effect somehow makes him look less ‘real’ than the original sketch.

 

[chiaracelli]

Does anyone know if Brian Joseph Page has been ruled out?

 

[The4TierBridge]

Does anyone know if Brian Joseph Page has been ruled out?

This person has 0 exclusions and no surviving forensic identifiers.

 

[cenazoic]

As far as we know, technically no one can be ruled out against BCJD, since we don’t have any of his forensic identifiers. (Except Charles Wallace. )

That said, BCJD was reportedly a six-footer, which would seem to eliminate Brian Page on height alone (5’6).

 

[mtlupy]

So, we know for a fact that he ISN'T Charles Wallace now. Other ideas?
