UNCLAIMED BODY
Well, this is just sad -- if true. Jeremy Juenger, who researches these things, says the authorities in Everett, Washington have an unclaimed body by the name of Danny Steven Stoskopf. The Class of '73 had a Danny Stoskopf. Could it be the same person? The '73 Centaur did not list a middle name.
