First we have the HCSO report today:
On January 20 at approximately 8 a.m., the Humboldt County Sheriffs Office was called by a citizen who reported a male possibly deceased located at Centerville Beach near Ferndale.
A deputy and medical was dispatched to the scene approximately 1/2 mile south of the parking lot. When the deputy arrived he saw a male located in the area described between the cliffs and the water line. Medical and the deputy determined the male was deceased.
Sheriff’s Detectives and the Coroners Office were summoned to the scene to investigate the death. The death is determined suspicious at this time. The identity of the deceased has not been confirmed. Sheriff’s Detectives are requesting the public’s help with this case.
The vehicle described: Blue with Tan Trim, Eddie Bauer 2000 Ford Explorer, with California Plates.
Deceased male described: White male, late 40’s , wearing sweat pants, a sweat shirt, two scarf’s, a beanie and a hoodie.
Anyone who may have seen this man at Centerville Beach or has any information regarding this case is requested to call Detective Rich Schlesiger at 1-707-268-3642 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.
The investigation is ongoing and further information may be released in the future.
So who was this individual whose body was found just below the steep cliffs of the now-defunct Centerville Naval Facility? Did he commit suicide or was he murdered?
This is where it takes a turn for the truly strange.
