Othram - General Discussion - #2

Thanks, we were not able to find it by NamUs ID. Glad you shared it!

I put 'Tonner Canyon' in the WS search engine. Found this case, and another one, the murder of Kerry Patterson, in 1980.

Honored that Othram could assist the Orange County Sheriff’s Department & FBI in identifying a murdered young man found in Orange County, California in 1980. He is now known to be 20-year-old Lonnie Raymond Thomas. An investigation into his death continues.

Orange County Sheriff investigators ordered a gravestone to mark his final resting place with his real name.

That's pretty nice of them. May they be successful in finding his killer and bringing him or her to justice.

We hope so too!

I don't think there is a Doe or MisPer thread for Arlene, but with such scant information it's hard to be certain. (No exact date, no NamUs number, etc.)

Sleep well, Arlene.

The case was not in NamUs, unfortunately.

The case was not in NamUs, unfortunately.

Some places don't seem to put people in there until a bit of time has passed, maybe because of a backlog.

It hasn't stopped her from getting her name back, though. I'm always glad when that happens.

Thank you for the update!

Love your work @othram - truly providing hope, closure and justice to those that thought it gone.
Is there any avenue one can submit cases that would benefit from your services? Or is it only law enforcement that can get involved?
