[Cubby]

When Baltimore police launched an extensive search of Patapsco Valley State Park back in April, looking for Phylicia Barnes, they didn't find her but a member of the civil air patrol did stumble on another body.

Today, Maryland State Police announced that they've identified the body John H. Hagegeorge, a 55-year-old man who had lived in Catonsville. Police said they tracked him down using serial numbers on his artificial knee replacements. An autopsy confirmed that he died of natural causes

Having followed the search for Phylicia Barnes I recall when this UID was found. So glad he has been identified and has his name back. Prayers for the family and loved ones of Mr. Hagegeorge.

This is so very sad. He wasn't "missing" because no one was looking for him. So many homeless in this nation today. We can't "assume" that because they are homeless they must be drunks or on drugs. We don't know that. Entire families have lost their homes and are homeless because of this economy. A poor job market. Illness. So many reasons. This is so wrong!

There but for grace of God go I.
