Just seen that it takes 2 reporters By: Jennifer Mullen & Ciara Brown to put this story up. Yet not a single person wanted to do a story for us when he went missing. Thanks I hope you feel great!

I see now that media wants to post a story on the body that was found, yet we begged for someone to search and help us locate him or run a story to make the public aware he was missing The person who was found. I hope you do no had family, children, and grandchildren and he was "sick" with depression of the loss of his wife We The only help we got was from the DNR and ourselves conduction our own family search. Now you use his body being found to run a story. But nobody could help us when we begged for help to find him. We knew how depressed he was and nobody listened. Now you look for ratings and why ask for information, you don't need any. The MD State Police knows who they found and so does DNR ( which the DNR we can thank you for your help with us and doing an actual search when he first went missing) Family is a little ticked at the MD State Police, News, and The Herald Mail!

Facts no longer matter. Just get something out there to gossip about.

I guess I missed the part where the news is supposed to speculate about an incident instead of just giving you ... well ... the news.

This has to be the worst article ever written. You write an article about a body being found in the woods and ask people if they have any information!? You haven given people NOTHING to go on. You didn't even include whether the body was male or female! Possible age range!? Any missing persons case's recently in that area!? How pathetic. Idiots.
