Dear
It is important for me to know if Tucker Burling lived in Europe as a child, In the Netherlands to be more precise. I have pictures of him and was dating him at the age of
18.
Thank you for letting me know.
Kind regards,
Kyra

Could this be Tucker?

Someone discovered some old human remains in Waipio. Police say on Saturday afternoon, a camper found the remains with clothing and a backpack in a remote grassy area of Waipio.

I am not certain, but I believe what you are asking is the case. I knew him in his 20's and I think I recall him saying he was in Europe.

I was good friends with him in Los Angeles in the early 70's and would love to see him again. I still hear his voice!
