I also received this comment to my post about "Cousin Mike" and Dietrich's bullshit claims.
"Unknown" commented on "Douglas Dietrich and the "Master Sergeant Michael Ramirez" Lie"

"Great post! not to be mean but for all your work we don't have any proof this Miguel was at all related to or know Richie Ramirez. There were hundreds of Miguels that served in Nam and I'm sure quite a few of them murdered their wives.Hell the man might not have existed whatsoever, could have been an invention of the author. You put all this work in because some random person's reddit comment.
Also based on the death certificate of the wife, she can't be related to either of the Ramirez parents, not sharing a single of the many surnames they have. All you did was disprove a reddit comment, probably of some kid who wanted to be part of the mythos.
If i really wanted to know who Uncle Mike is, i'd have started with the Ramirez family tree, there can't be that many women in his family who were murdered in the 1970s then investigate from there. Honestly i'm leaning on it being made up, the back story is too good.
I am certain there are way more vietnam vets named mike who lived in texas and murdered their wife vs men in the ramirez family who served or killed"
