So note, NamUs says they were found to be "related" through DNA. I'm not entirely sure if they mean they had a blood relation or if they were remains from the same person.

10577 was found on a beach in Atlantic City. Partial skeletal remains were found, minus head + torso and one or more limbs/hands. Not clear what exactly was found. He's given an estimated height of 5'1 to 5'11, which is very broad but I assume they just mean he was no taller than 6 foot.

12060 found at the water's edge/the beach at Iriquois Avenue in Margate, NJ. He was a partial remain with soft tissues, head + torso and one or more limbs/hands not recovered. Two heavy socks were on his body, so I assume it was legs/feet found. He has an estimated height of 5'4.

No PMI for either, and they do not have a page with the NJ State Police.

Not sure if this article is related to the remains found. It mentions a 65 foot wooden boat that sunk seven miles off of Brigantine "last January".

Okay this is peculiar.
I guess the leg could still technically belong to Hober.
There is a missing person called Michael Ewing who did go missing in 1983, but from California, coincidentally he also drowned but it's obviously not the same person.
No records of a missing Frederick Fischer online.

But I assume their family might have given their DNA now to test against?

Do you have a link for that other Michael Ewing from California? It's a big coincidence. Same name, same year and both victims of drowning. Could it be that Michael Ewing was originally from California? Maybe the family lost contact and reported him missing in CA?

I really don't think its the same person though, since it mentions specifically where he did drown in San Francisco and NJ Ewing was 26, this guy was 19.

@Caring1 for the record, do these two UIDs have any rule outs?

I would assume they had tested DNA against those people right? They obviously have DNA since they found these two to be related.
Hober is on Find a Grave. Idk if that means his body was found or not. Can't find anything on the other two.
I know some folks have graves when the body isn't actually there. I know Everette Guy Travis who was identified the other week, his family member said they had a plot for him with a marker with the family for many years, and after he was identified, they'd interred the ashes there.

Thanks. I did see him on NamUs but it has no info there. Definitely not the same person.

BTW, there are no rule outs for these UIDs.
