The bodies? "We don't talk about it because people who live here don't want to," she said.
But there is one they do talk about. Ryan Davis, 26, was found March 9 near the Broadway Pier. He had worked as a bartender in Fells Point, most recently as extra summer help for the John Steven pub on Thames Street. Bartender Lauren Ciemny recalled an outgoing, blond-haired young man who drank vodka and Diet Coke at shift change and biked to work. He disappeared Jan. 11, and for the two months he was missing his picture hung in the windows of Fells Point taverns. "I was really upset," Ciemny said. "I don't know whether he slipped and fell in or if something happened to him."
Four bodies in four weeks in the harbor got people talking. It's eerie, it's strange, it's so Baltimore. They're talking for a different reason in Fells Point. They can put a face on a victim, and it's not eerie or strange but tragic. We don't know who two of the others are, and police tell me the fourth has been identified but that they have not been able to find his relatives. That's just sad.
