WENGNews writes, "EVEN THOU THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER STILL HAS NOT POSTIVELY IDENTIFIED THE REMAINS FOUND IN A DRAINAGE PIPE IN DEEP CREEK ON SUNDAY, THE FAMILY OF MISSING EX-MARINE ERIC HALL NOW BELIEVES IT WAS HIS, AND THEY ARE PLANNING A THURSDAY MEMORIAL SERVICE IN PUNTA GORDA. PUBLISHED REPORTS SAY HIS FATHER BELIEVES THE BODY IS HALL’S BECAUSE OF THE CLOTHES HE WAS WEARING, PLUS THE FACT THAT THEY FOUND METAL IN HIS HIP. HALL WAS INJURED IN COMBAT IN 2005 AND WAS DISCHARGED FROM THE MARINES. HE REPORTEDLY HAD A WAR FLASHBACK, A RESULT OF POST TRAMATIC STRESS DISORDER, ON FEBRUARY 3RD WHEN HE STORMED OUT OF HIS DEEP CREEK HOME. HIS MOTORCYCLE WAS FOUND THAT AFTERNOON IN THE SAME AREA AS THE REMAINS. A MEMORIAL SERVICE WILL BE HELD THURSDAY AT NOON AT THE FAITH LUTHERAN CHURCH, LOCATED AT 4005 PALM DRIVE. HALL WILL BE BURIED IN INDIANA, BUT THE FAMILY WANTS TO HOLD THE MEMORIAL FOR ALL OF THE VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HALL SINCE HE DISAPPEARED. "
