With the US Federal Government shutdown, the Health Care reform, and the Los Angeles Dodgers’ advancement to the National League Championship series dominating the news at the beginning of October, there also appeared a less prominent news headline in the local papers of Southern California.

What was left of the body, recently discovered by hikers in the Angeles National Forest Mountains, is now identified as thirty-two-year-old Jacob Barrstein, manager of Jock Master Sporting Goods, who went missing while on a camping trip in these local mountains in April of this year.

Six months after his disappearance - - wild animals and natural decomposing having run their course - - Jacob’s remains were identified and the case changed from a missing person’s file to a full-blown police investigation.
