Any information anyone has would help tremendously.

The Pershing County Sheriff's Office still is trying to identify a man who apparently hanged himself Thursday morning at Burning Man.
Sheriff Ron Skinner said the man appears to be white, between 20 and 25 years old with light brown hair and a "very slender" build.
"At this time, the individual is a John Doe to us. We have not identified him," Skinner said. "I'm sure somebody knows who he is. They haven't approached us yet."
The problem with Burning Man, a counterculture festival in the Black Rock Desert, is that it's not uncommon for people to disappear for several days at a time among the festivities, Skinner said.

The problem with Burning Man, a counterculture festival in the Black Rock Desert, is that it's not uncommon for people to disappear for several days at a time among the festivities, Skinner said.
An initial media account is that the body hung in a tent for a couple of hours and that people thought he was doing performance art. Skinner could not confirm that.
"They probably believed that (the body) was some kind of a prop," Skinner said. "One individual who had come in during that period of time thought he was a mannequin. That was probably appropriate because of the light in the tent and the way the person was. It was rather dimly lit."
It appears the man was alone in the tent when he was hanged, and he was there about 60 to
90 minutes before he was found, the sheriff said.
"I would describe the scene as kind of surreal," Skinner said.
"It was one of those scenes that was out of place."
Skinner was at the tent and said it was being used by party-goers. It appeared they were holding a Burning Man version of the game show "Jeopardy!" in there, Skinner said.
The tent at its highest point was about 15 feet, and the body was at least 4 feet off the floor hanging from the tent's main post, Skinner said.
They have not found a suicide note. Skinner said he considers it a suicide unless an investigation shows something else happened.
"There's nothing to make us believe otherwise," Skinner said.
