Now that Tawni is identified here is another case that baffles me.

I've often wondered if 9/11 has something to do with it....

I've always wondered about that too, Lost Indie.

The name he gave is from a book and the address was another hotel, so I wonder if he does have a family.

I read the book before I heard about this Lyle Stevik. Lyle was an odd character and I wonder why he chose this nickname.

Hard to know but maybe to feel the same despair that the character felt. The character's father committed suicide too. Maybe someone from a family that follows along the lines of the family in the Oates book???

Hi, I am new here and I too have been following this case for about 2 years. I have talked to the former detective of this case and I have discussed possible matches, theories and the autopsy findings. He has also been kind enough to give answers to questions that I and other people have had about the case

Case History
The body of this white or Native male was located in a Quinault area motel. His death has been ruled a suicide.
He had checked into the motel using the name "Lyle Stevik" from 1019 S. Progress Avenue, Meridian, Idaho. The address he listed is for a motel. Lyle Stevik is a character in the book You Must Remember This, by Joyce Carol Oates.
He indicated that he was going to stay a few more days though he had only paid for one evening. The maid entered the room on September 17, 2001 and found him hanging from the coat rack with his leather belt. He had left money on the nightstand with a note that said "For the Room". The only personal belongings in his possession was a tooth brush and paste.
He arrived by bus, possibly one that came from Port Angeles (south), but a bus came up from Aberdeen (northbound) and arrived about the same time. Neither driver was sure if he was on their bus. He arrived with no luggage, and there was no luggage, clothing, etc. in the motel dumpster.
He may have come from Canada, as the clerk recalled that he had "a slight Canadian accent". The fact he wrote the word "suicide" on a piece of paper found in the trash leads authorities to believe he wrote a letter home, telling someone of his intentions, that he was going to disappear, so they aren't looking for him. He may have been dying, or suffered from depression, as he lost a lot of weight, although nothing was found at the autopsy.
There were no indications that he ever wore a wedding ring.
Fingerprints sent to FBI and RCMP with Negative results.

What's not listed on there is that the victim was circumcised- I asked the detective this after finding the circumcision question on another forum I had posted on. I was quite suprised when he [the detective] responded quite fast to the question

I also sent the new detective (Steve Shumate) an email about 2 years ago concerning a possible match but have yet to hear from him

I actually can't remember but maybe it was because of how baffling it was
