This was pretty fucked up, and nothing like this has ever happened before. I was in a leadership position when this went down, and a lot of our volunteers who were responsible for holding a perimeter on the initial scene were (understandably) pretty upset when they found out what they’d been holding the perimeter for. As they move off playa, we’re working on getting them post-incident counseling.
As of now, the victim is still unidentified. We’re seeking information about anyone matching the description who has been missing since that date, but so far no dice. It was a bad scene all around, both for our volunteers and the participants who initially found the body (as well as for the victim himself of course). Nothing like this has ever happened before; we have the (very very occasional) death, but never a homicide.
