Cyber-sleuths, let’s organize a search of missing persons in NamUs with those initials or first and last initial. How many cases are we looking at?
For those who may not know, the standard order for a three-letter monogram places the last name initial in the center, typically larger, with the first and middle initials on either side in a smaller font.
So, the “F” is the first letter of the last name, and the others look like “H” and “M,” but does anyone see any other possible options for the side letters?
This is super helpful! Thank you for clarifying and making sure those circumstances are clear!
H, F, and M as possible acronyms… F being the last name…
I tried a lot of combinations and even tried different letter possibilities and PA and WI, as well as various other states and didn’t find much . I did have the thought that maybe since it was on a necklace, maybe it is a relatives?
Since the ring was on a string, I wonder if it was a friend or family member’s ring instead? Just in a search of men that went missing from 1998-2000, this gentleman matches the size and some of the items found with the remains (but no mention of a ring or stuffed bunny). MP29255 4/1/1998 Rader, Jr. Leonard 48 Superior WI 6’1 – 6’2, sandy, backpack, knife, size 34, glasses, sunglasses. Thoughts?
I was also wondering if it was Leonard Lawrence Rader Jr, Missing out of Wisconsin. I also searched the Doe Network for men missing out of Ontario Canada around 1998-2000. I found a Mark Edmonson, age 41 at the time he went missing on October 3rd, 1999… He was known to carry a hunting knife as well, but the height is off, as he was around 5’8. It also said he was carrying unknown heirlooms passed to him by his deceased brother.
The case of Leonard Rader Jr. matching almost perfectly to this case, down to the same injuries. Leonard had previse left knee gun shot wounds and a fractured collarbone. Same height and shoe size, he left a suicide note, carried a hunting knife. My question is why would he be 2 hours away from home?
@Detective_Aaron are able to confirm or deny this is him?
