Georgia's Paulding County John Doe (2021) is Now Identified

The decedent's last name is Thomas Joe Kratzer, NOT Krazner.

This case was #UP89733 in NamUs for the UID remains and #MP54137 for the missing person (Thomas Kratzer was missing from the same place and matched all the known facts; there are only 6 missing people in Paulding County GA, of which 2 are women and 1 disappeared after the 2021 discovery date; the two other potential matches would have been Cleveland Scott Rakestraw from 2017 and Greyson Alec Aselton from the same month as the discovery; since it was easy to find his sister for the eventual confirmatory work, this looks like another apparent case of lazy investigative work).
