Mark was ID’d in 2019 but it was not made public until this year-

Mark Lawrence Ashland (c. 1954 – October 9, 1984) was a man who disappeared from Seattle in 1981. Three years after his last contact with family, he hanged himself in a wooded area in Carkeek Park,. Fingerprint comparison led to his identification in the fall of 2019.

Ashland, originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, moved to Washington five years before he disappeared. He generally took jobs involving driving. He had not contacted his family since September 4, 1981, despite their efforts to locate him. He was 27 at the time he was last seen.
