But it wasn't just one person that was previously lost there. Possibly three other times ...

  • The female remains.

  • the ID and recodeings of a man from '84

  • whoever made the SOS

Was the SOS recent? And not possibly made by either of the two others?

That's why I said possibly three. The SOS could potentially have been from one of the other two, but they aren't sure.
