NamUs Link: Unidentified Person Case

Various MSM links
Police treating decomposed body found in Lansing manhole as 'suspicious death investigation'

Body found in Lansing manhole

Badly decomposed body found in sewer system near Grand River

 

[KJ's Mamu]

Per the NamUs case the deceased is male. Made me think of Jerome Ezell but Jerome has been EXCLUDED.....will do some research on others missing in the area.

New article...no new information except it could take weeks to make identification. Link: Autopsy on body found in manhole could take weeks

I did some research on those missing locally and no one on NamUs matches the "measured" height of the deceased. I've started researching on other "missing" sites....but nothing so far. Sigh.

Shin, although the NamUs profile shows that the race/ethnicity of the decedent as White, Hispanic or Latino, Mr. Keene could be a possibility. Will you be submitting his name/info to NamUs or the investigating agencies?

 

[Shin Masamura]

Im not sure about/how to submit to Namus, but I will submit to agency in question. I will let you know how that goes..

Identified....Danny Lee Tamez. Prayers for his family.

Police identify body found in sewer

 

[iulia]

No cause of death determined for body found in sewer line

The Lansing State Journal reports that a second autopsy has not provided answers in the death of Danny Lee Tamez.

 

[KJ's Mamu]

So he wasn't reported missing until AFTER police asked for the public's help in identifying him? But foul play is not suspected? Red flag for me....

In alot of these Unidentified cases, it still amazes me how often this happens..
