Drowning Victim’s Relatives Sought
The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department is asking the public’s help in locating relatives of Ronald Charles Bauer, 49, who drowned early this month.
Bauer’s body was found Sept. 9 by a windsurfer about 400 yards off Bolsa Chica State Beach. Officials have yet to find his next of kin.
Bauer is identified as white, 154 pounds and 5 feet 6 inches tall, with gray hair and brown eyes. He had a tattoo of a black bird smoking a cigarette on his right shoulder. Bauer’s latest residence was in Long Beach.
Anyone who has information about Bauer’s relatives is asked to call Sheriff’s Deputy Larry Esslinger at (714) 647-7410.
