Happy this is closed, it seems like it was a fairly easy research for them.

Eddie's Doe thread: MD - MD - Greenbelt, BlkMale 15-25, UP2251, off I-95, deformed teeth, straight jacket, blanket, Aug'81

This one means a lot to me to see solved, and I'm so glad there is a photograph of Eddie living. Disabled people were so often treated as disposable in the past, even now, but Eddie was real, he was human, and he mattered. I'm glad his siblings have answers after so long.

MOO

Beautifully said. May he rest in peace.

So happy to see he's been identified and I'm glad his family finally has some answers! RIP Eddie. I'm curious about the "heartbreaking" story mentioned on his DDP page, but I understand if details are being withheld due to the family's wishes.
