Body Identified as Missing Fairfax Area Man
Tyler William Reed had been missing since May 5, according to reports
http://fairfaxcity.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/body-identified-as-missing-fairfax-area-man

A body found in the Anacostia River has been identified as 25-year-old Tyler William Reed of Fairfax County, according to media reports, including ABC7.

Reed had attended a Washington Nationals game on May 5 and visited Justin's Cafe during a rain delay, according to Fairfax County Police. He was last seen leaving the restaurant.

The Washington Post notes that Reed was a server at Alexandria’s Evening Star Café and was attending classes at George Mason to finish his degree.

“I heard from a lot of people ‘I didn’t deserve a friend like him,’” his mother, Cheri Reed, told the paper.

Evening Star Café posted on it's Facebook page: All of us at the Star were deeply saddened to learn about Tyler's passing yesterday and to tragically lose a member of our restaurant's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Reed family & Tyler's friends.

Body found in Anacostia River that of man missing from Nationals game, police say Monday
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/body-found-in-anacostia-river-that-of-man-missing-from-nationals-game-police-say-monday/2014/05/12/e60cb6fa-d9e7-11e3-b745-87d39690c5c0_story.html

The body of a man pulled from the Anacostia River on Saturday has been identified as a 25-year-old from Alexandria who disappeared during a rain delay at a May 5 Nationals game, D.C. police said Monday.

Officer Araz Alali, a D.C. police spokesman, identified the man as Tyler William Reed. He said the cause of death is pending an autopsy. Reed’s family and friends had sought help in their search with a campaign on Facebook.

According to Fairfax County police, which took the missing persons report, Reed had left Nationals Park during a 3 1/2-hour rain delay during a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Police said he had gone to Justin’s Cafe, near the Navy Yard Metro station and two blocks north of the stadium, located along the Anacostia River.

Reed was a server at Alexandria’s Evening Star Café and had recently returned to George Mason to finish his degree, said his mother Cheri Reed. In his spare time, Reed was a prolific songwriter and musician, who was trained in classical piano, and a Nationals fan. He was the eldest of three children in the Reed family.

“I heard from a lot of people ‘I didn’t deserve a friend like him,’” Cheri said.

This guy's age and circumstances say foul play is in order here...It's not rocket science to figure if a guy leaves a ballgame and ends up in a river closeby, that it points to something fishy.. Strange no mention of any bruises or trauma on the victim since this is the only way a person usually ends up dead in the water...

One poster noted it was probably a "hate crme"...What does that mean??? Guess if the perpetrators were black, this is what he was driving at...if so, then just say it...Chances are the assailants ARE black since little to no white on white crime occurs in DC....Would it have made the poster feel any more comfortable if the victim had been black???? Probably!!!!!!!!! Racism is still alive, even in noting crimes.....

This is a tragedy, imagine this was your brother, cousin, nephew's father or anyone close to you. This is not TV or a video game. This is the tragic loss of one whose family members will not understand the hole that is now in the fabric of their family cloth...our hearts and souls are entertwined and woven within our family networks. Our souls are connected and we each bleed when one bleeds within our network, we each fall when one of our own falls and we all bind together when we are threatened with loss. If this tragedy was inflicted by another; we will know and we will feel when the wrong has been righted, by God's loving kindness and hope we will know that the fallen is resting in peace and will be there when we arrive.

I think the public might benefit from these missing facts from the story:
1.) Tyler was out with his manager, Morgan F. and co-worker, William K. from the Evening Star, the night he went missing. These were the last people who saw them. The two have not been cooperative or willing to provide info.

2.) At one point at Justins w/ his friends, he left for thirty minutes and when he returned mentioned meeting a stranger in the bathroom and then supposedly left immediately.

So why the FUCK, did his friends/co-workers let him leave? Why did they let him drunkenly walk out, into the rain, and didn't offer him a ride? Why have they both been avoiding speaking with police? Why did William K. refuse to join in the campaign to find the missing Tyler Reed? Because they're guilty, they know they are. They're hiding something and their negligence lead to Tyler Reeds death. Disgusting pieces of filth.

Surmising from the elements of the persobalities involved it might have been drug/debt related. Restaurant managers are usually drug addicts and might have gotten into some sort of debt through the muscician. Just speculating. Don't even know the guy.

It's asking too much for trolls to be sensitive so the victim's friends and family simpyl shoudn't read this forum.

That being said, I hadn't heard about the uncooperative co-workers. If true, that puts a new spin on things.

Another thought, for conspiracy theorists - google "smiley face murders." Many young men have gone missing and ended up in rivers, mostly in the midwest but some on the East Coast as well. Some suspect a serial killer.

Sad story, but I remain suspicious about Reed's background and activities outside of work.

What did he say to his coworkers? Was he drunk? Agitated? Gut instinct tells me he was forced to leave and "take a walk" with his dealer who decided to toss him in the river rather than give him yet another chance to pay...or, Reed saw/knew something about the dealer and this was retribution.

Around national stadium is as dangerous to whitey as the kiliminjaro plains are for the gazelle. except instead of lions looking for their prey, the Caucasians are getting wasted by man-man who are looking for easy pickings. at least they didn't beat his brains in like Thomas maslin, that was some cold blooded 100% whitey hating mandingo action there. on a side note is his wife looking for someone to take care of her needs, no way is that gimp even able to finger bang her.

OD'ed at a sports game? why do you say? highly unlikely even at dead concert.

maybe his friends were drug dealers who wanted him dead

best to look close to the circle first. though he was doughy and white and in DC. that is grounds for being killed by a foreigner maybe.

This is a weird story as there is no indication a crime took place. If so this would be getting a lot more publicity. Just making an educated guess that this must have been either a fall or suicide.

Anyone know the guy that can provide more information on his background?

Dumb guesses. Going to a ballgame and a bar seems like pretty unlikely things to do before offing yourself, and heading from Justin's all the way down to the river by himself is also very unlikely.

Getting mugged is possible if he drove by himself and he parked in an isolated spot, more likely he took Metro, which is close to Justin's, a distance from the river, and in a populated area. So put that in the unlikely column.

A hookup gone bad is also possible, and is probably my first guess, although if the story about his co-workers not cooperating is true, this becomes less likely.

The claim that the co-workers are withholding info points to a drug deal gone bad.

its true the coworkers were not cooperative. one of their friends who was with them was helping the police but not the coworkers. idgaf if they do drugs, if they know something they need to speak up. tyler wasn't stupid he wouldn't just walk off with strangers, so somebody knows something. imagine being his brother or parent or close friend... they'll all be holding on to their last memories of him and never know what really happened.

suicide is totally off the table, tyler loved life. and to whoever was questioning what 25 year old would go to a baseball game by themself. he wasn't by himself that night, but that is totally something he would do just for the fun of it. personally i am very suspicious of william and morgan they left out lots of details and didn't help the family.

Yes-my info comes from reliable sources, I'm a close friend. Tyler wasn't involved in at "gay hookup" not was his death suicide. What someone previously said is true, the man loved his life and was passionate about human nature. I'm a firm believer someone knows how Tyler passed, hey panicked and tossed his boy. It's just a shame that this has seemed to hit a dead end and the ball is no longer rolling.

From the description of events from the article, I would wait until the medical examiner's report to jump to any conclusion. However, the odds of this guy walking into the river from street level are pretty low. A more likely scenario is that he was robbed, ko'd and thrown in the river. We'll have to wait for the definitive answer

So he was walking from Justin's to the Metro, got robbed and was thrown in the river? Did this mugger kill him in the half block between the bar and the subway and drag him the four blocks down to the water? Or was he led at gunpoint past the ballpark as people were trickling out as the rain delay was ending? Not a chance. Dude went down to the river willingly, figure out why and you'll narrow your suspect list down considerably.

It's been three weeks, where are the results of the autopsy? In any case, I'm happy walking to my car after games, not worried about some random killer.

I hope the police are looking into this in the meantime though. I would assume foul play until I knew otherwise.

Since Tyler's memorial service, I've picked up the guitar and I'm singing again. Pretty fucked up, but it took my old homie dying to make me REALLY care about music. He was always down to jam out, and now that he's gone, he has forced me back into the jam.

I made a huge mistake not keeping in contact with Tyler. The last time I spoke with him was in 2009. Been so concerned with my own life, I haven't really cared about others. I'm an ass.

As long as we all keep playing and listening to music, Tyler's energy will always be present.

FUCK.


P.S. A big fuck you to all the trolls here. I cannot imagine how fucking pathetic you all must be in real life, to be acting like hose beasts on the internet. Makes no sense that Tyler could be gone while you all still exist. But on the wavelength in which you operate, the world will work against you, and reflect your shitty attitude right back at you. Please make an effort to enjoy your terrible existence! Tyler would have wanted it that way.

Whomever you are, know that the impacts Tyler death have had on you (that you shared), are ones he would be most proud of. I don't think he could ask for anything else man.

My family and I for brunch at the Evening Star and was drunk, or smelled liked it. Complete asshole, acts like he knows everything. We used to always request Tyler when we came in and were devastated when we heard the news. Reading all these comments makes me think someone should look at that guy, seriously.

Hey for any of you that are actually his friends, first of all I'm sorry that really sucks, I was one of the people who found him and I've been trying to keep up with the story. If you hear anything of the autopsy or toxicology please post.
Thanks.

As soon as we hear from toxicology I will post here and reddit, the media/news have let this story die, as most do. The police seem to not care anymore, never returning our phone calls. Today marks two months exactly since Tyler's body was found, and we still know as much as we did that day. We live in a warped society where the government would rather sweep things under the rug, and that's fine. The truth is his friends (William Kettler and Morgan Frankena), murdered him. They were his killers. If not by their hand, by their negligence. They're selfish sons of bitches and will burn for eternity to pay for what they have done.

What makes you think they had anything to do with it? Were they with him the day he went to the game?

I'm pretty much ready to convict now, can we get on with the trials? All I really need to know is the motive, still assuming it must be drug related, especially since they're in the restaurant business.

They were the last people to see him during the rain delay May 10th. They all then have different and conflicting stories about when Tyler left, how he left, etc.

I don't think we all understand what you mean. Instead of giving us pieces of the story, why not just give us a good summary of the story with details, how these two are involved, and so on. I think then we will all understand your observation a bit better. Thanks so much.

1. They refused to speak with police, they also refused to speak with his family or give them their thoughts on how he ended up the way he did.
2. Morgan, a manager at the restaurant Tyler worked at, quit shortly after this happened.
3. Kettler is an alcoholic and Morgan is a druggie.
4. Their stories have conflicted numerous times and changed, numerous times.
5. Morgan said days after Tyler was reported missing "well he had issues" on the topic of his disappearance.

Wow.... That is a rock solid case... Except it isn't true... How do you know they didn't talk to the police? Being an alcoholic or druggie doesn't make you a murderer..... People quit jobs in the restaurant business all the time.

Where are the facts that he was murdered? Where are the facts that they did it?

I think you need to pass this along to the police, this does indeed sound like the kind of activity you would see from people who have perpetrated a crime.

I couldn't find any arrest record for either William Kettler and Morgan Frankena at least on the arrest/ticket search.

I did however find just one for the victim...

Toxicology/autopsy reports did not reveal anything conclusive, and this info is only available to the family. Those two people were two of I think four people to have been with Tyler on the evening of May 5th. In my own opinion, someone doesn't just jump some barricades to go for a swim, and if the perpetrator gets away with it, perhaps guilt or God will settle the score.

If the persons responsible care enough to keep up with this case, I forgive you. My life will never be the same. I'm not okay right now. And if I didn't know without a doubt that my eternal resting place and Tyler's were the same, you might as well have killed me too.

So we know who two of them are, and you said there were four. Who were the others?

The other two were friends of Morgan Frankena, Tyler didn't know them and wasn't friends with those two. Their names are Hilary and Natalie, not sure on spelling or last names. Tox screening confirmed that Morgan Frankena is a liar and concocted some bullshit story to cover herself. Shoulda pulled a Kettler and just stayed quiet.

The sad thing about this whole case is none of us are concerned with "payback" "revenge" or "settling scores". We all want to know the truth and we deserve that peace of mind. But the bastards responsible for this are callous and have no respect for human life besides their own.

Well have you gone to the police with this? How can the police do anything when spineless liberals like yourself decide to play internet strongguy (or gal) on Fairfax Underground instead of sharing this information with the investigators?

Answer?

You really weren't much of a friend to Tyler were you?

How about filling in some details? You've named named, so why hold back any info at this point? What did the toxicology report confirm? How would Tyler's report possibly confirm anything about Fankena being a liar? What story did she concoct? Do you believe this is a case of an OD? Accident? Murder? Most importantly, how is this case related to Andrew Morgan?

The tox report came back weeks ago, what they reported is not going to answer any questions anyone may have, or have already asked here. Reading the report, you get the feeling that the investigators got tired of the cold case and wanted to close it and be done with it. I love Tyler, and I know that he wouldn't want any of his loved one going on some arbitrary witch hunt or playing the blame game. Most likely no one will ever know what happened to Tyler, unless one of the four are withholding information and comes forward, however I doubt they would.

For those of you who truly want answers as concerned friends of Tyler's, you will get them. If you're a friend of his you know that his family is welcoming, open and loving; perhaps speak with people on Facebook if you're searching for answers, rather an "underground" forum of sorts.

Just let things be for now.

Tyler, you are very missed.

I do very much wish that if the people that were with Tyler that night knew anything, they would bring that information forward -- but even so I almost feel bad for them. How can one live withholding that sort of information? That is almost punishment enough.

I know he wouldn't want us to play detective and rack our brains over what happened to him. To anyone reading this, please make sure your friends know how much you appreciate them before they are gone.

This thread is likely absent by now, but I realized I never did post Tyler's toxicology results. While yes, his BAC was extremely high, he did not test positive for drugs.
