Identified! UT - Tooele Co., WhtMale UP8318 17-22, Jun'76 - David Stack

DoeNet is reporting that the John Doe has been confirmed to be David Stack.

Glad he got his name back, hopefully they can solve his murder now.

Wimmer is pleased the case has made progress after nearly four decades, but he said it’s not yet closed.

“Even though the identification has been made, we still have an unsolved homicide,” he said. “We still have a lot of legwork.
 
For understandable but still dispiriting reasons, the (cis) boys and men who lost their lives hitchhiking are oft overlooked by the wider public and media. RIP, Mister Stack.
