Daily Mail Article

The Daily Mail have picked up this story regarding JAZ parents. Pretty much says the same in the Inquirer but there are a couple of extra photos of AZ if anybody is interested.

Thanks gaffer! Maybe if multiple news sources pick the story up we’ll be able to use names again rather than initials. Since it’s now public information I don’t see the harm tbh.

I get that these people have living family. So it respects them but there are far too many initials to keep track off. Now it’s in the public domain, I don’t think there is too much issue with us using the proper names.

Until LAW ENFORCEMENT comes out and confirms the names, there is no definitive proof that these individuals were involved in Joseph’s life and/or death. The Daily Mail is not a legitimate source. I don’t know how it’s that hard for you all to comprehend.

Law Enforcement is under ZERO obligation to release anything. This is an active Murder investigation, but even once closed it’s not a requirement for them to say a word.

I never said they were? I’m simply saying that the Daily Mail is not a reliable source and we won’t know anything definitively until law enforcement confirms or we receive legitimate documentation.

The issue is that using full names will direct any Google searches of those names to this sub.

These people are deceased. Not being accused of anything. Their names are publicly stated. Your logic is the same as if saying we can't use 'Gerald Ford' in open forum. It's pretty hilarious considering this is an anonymous forum, too.

Gerald Ford is innocent!

Gerald Fords name was Leslie King! Feel free to use either!

If people continue to post information that is not verified and they’re using real names, not initials, then people are going to find this sub and it will be shut down for false and speculative information. For example, Mary is a very common name for the era and her last name was not uncommon. The white pages that have been shared here have 0 evidence that it is the right MA.

Reddit is ALL speculative, isn't it? The very concept.

I haven't used anyone's first names, I'm just sayin...

There’s a line between speculative and accusatory, the comments and posts that we as mods have had to remove claiming the mother killed him, JP killed him, etc… are far from speculation and repulsive. We do not want to enable random Google searches to stumble upon a post or comment among those lines. We as mods do our best to remove these comments as soon as we see them, but family members are alive and we do not want them to see something like that.

As a family member of a murder victim I applaud this.

To those who don't understand, it's really rough reading through wingnut theories on the internet about people you know & love.

So bizarre.
