Both UIDs were found together in the lower Niagara River, just past the whirlpool. No PMIs but the look of their skin suggests that they could have entered the water at the same time. No other information suggesting these UIDs were known to each other.

Super interesting. I went through both US and Canada's missing persons for around Niagara Falls and didn't find anyone that had matching tattoos to the UIPs.

If you turn the tattoo it looks like there is B.C.?.H. BC could stand for British Columbia.

If you turn the tattoo it looks like there is B.C.?.H. BC could stand for British Columbia.

It looks a bit like a faded R, or a faded swastika. I couldn't find anything appropriate online for B.C.R.H.

just asked a follower; the mans tattoo says 事實 = reality ,a fact in traditional Chinese. My guess is he got it for the aesthetic and he may not know the meaning.

Could de "H" be a pisces sign?

 

[Bit of hope]

I wonder what theories LE has about how they ended up there. Jumpers? Accident? Could the Niagara Falls be connected at all? Did they have noticeable injuries leaning towards another cause of death then drowning? Could the bodies be murdered elsewhere and dumped? It feels like they were together, but we don't know. How big is the chance two bodies show up in the same spot at the same time and not belonging together? So many questions, but maybe it's not really relevant at the moment.

It seems that the Niagara river is very dangerous and lot's of accidents have happened.

Swimming in the Niagara River is not safe. <Especially the lower Niagara river> The waters are fast-moving and have strong currents that can easily sweep even the strongest swimmers downstream. Moreover, the river is home to dangerous whirlpools, eddies, and rapids that can be deadly even for experienced swimmers.
