Dear XXXX,
I checked yesterday with John's family, and there have been no new developments; he is still missing. We even sent his information to another jurisdiction in case he made his way there, even though he is in the national system, just as a double check. Obviously we hope he is OK and someone will find him.

Remains identified as Carolina Beach man missing since 2012

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) &#8212; Skeletal remains found in Monkey Junction in November have now been identified as a 20-year-old missing since May of 2012.

According to the New Hanover County Sheriff&#8217;s Office, dental records confirm they found the remains of John Calvin Pensyl.
The sheriff&#8217;s office says foul play is not suspected, but the fact that the remains were so degraded means they can&#8217;t definitely determine how Pensyl died.

"On November 21 (2017), a construction crew found bones in a wooded area behind the Walmart on Carolina Beach Road."
Oh my gosh! I have shopped at that Walmart hundreds of times since his disappearance! I normally would cut through the back of the store. Little did I know he was close by.
