A blog has a series of posts about the death of Tyler William Reed here:http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/2/1535055.htmlMay 13, 2014 07:23AM"Tyler William Reed had been missing since May 5, according to reports... Reed had attended a Washington Nationals game on May 5 and visited Justin's Cafe [1025 First St SE, Washington, DC , near the Navy Yard Metro station and two blocks north of the stadium,] during a rain delay, according to Fairfax County Police. He was last seen leaving the restaurant [at approximately 11 PM wearing a bright orange backpack; he's 5’10’’, 160 lbs].... Officer Araz Alali, a D.C. police spokesman, identified the [body of a man pulled from the Anacostia River] as Tyler William Reed. He said the cause of death is pending an autopsy. Reed’s family and friends had sought help in their search with a campaign on Facebook... Reed was a server at Alexandria’s Evening Star Café and had recently returned to George Mason to finish his degree, said his mother Cheri Reed... "

Date: May 13, 2014 09:29PM"I think the public might benefit from these missing facts from the story:
1.) Tyler was out with his manager, Morgan F.[Frankena] and co-worker, William K.[Kettler] from the Evening Star, the night he went missing. These were the last people who saw them. The two have not been cooperative or willing to provide info.
2.) At one point at Justins w/ his friends, he left for thirty minutes and when he returned mentioned meeting a stranger in the bathroom and then supposedly left immediately.
So why... did his friends/co-workers let him leave? Why did they let him drunkenly walk out, into the rain, and didn't offer him a ride? Why have they both been avoiding speaking with police? Why did William K. refuse to join in the campaign to find the missing Tyler Reed?..."

its true the coworkers were not cooperative. one of their friends who was with them was helping the police but not the coworkers. idgaf if they do drugs, if they know something they need to speak up. tyler wasn't stupid he wouldn't just walk off with strangers, so somebody knows something... suicide is totally off the table, tyler loved life.... personally i am very suspicious of william and morgan they left out lots of details and didn't help the family."
Concerned Friend () - Date: May 29, 2014 08:11PMYes-my info comes from reliable sources, I'm a close friend. Tyler wasn't involved in at "gay hookup" not was his death suicide... June 12, 2014 06:19PM No, he was not gay, Tyler was straight.
not from dc () - May 31, 2014 09:22PMSo he was walking from Justin's to the Metro, got robbed and was thrown in the river? Did this mugger kill him in the
half block between the bar and the subway and drag him the four blocks down to the water? Or was he led at gunpoint past the ballpark as people were trickling out as the rain delay was ending? Not a chance. Dude went down to the river willingly, figure out why and you'll narrow your suspect list down considerably.

When he was found his backpack was missing. So that's still out there somewhere. Or at the bottom of the Anacostia.Posted by: dkfojs ()
Date: July 16, 2014 08:57PM1. They refused to speak with police, they also refused to speak with his family or give them their thoughts on how he ended up the way he did.
2. Morgan [Frankena], a manager at the restaurant Tyler worked at, quit shortly after this happened.
3. [William] Kettler is an alcoholic and Morgan is a druggie.
4. Their stories have conflicted numerous times and changed, numerous times.
5. Morgan said days after Tyler was reported missing "well he had issues" on the topic of his disappearance.
