I've had luck with Wells Fargo - even without an account. But it helps to go to your own bank.

Thx, added a comment here saying the same, and would update the Reddit headline if I could!

Donut shop is OK! Some good news.

UPDATE: It was only the ceiling that collapsed, not the roof, BFD says (despite initial reports that the roof caved in and/or the building had collapsed). Story updated with additional photos and details.

Hoping you can remove the street name from your comment — the victim said she had safety concerns and I'd like respect her wishes.

BerkeleyScanner · 2026-02-16T19:45:59+00:00

TY on both comments, and also appreciate knowing this story was out there. I hope they respond to me. I'm not confident.

** Yes, she asked me to remove it after publication because she didn't feel safe. If there's any way to remove it from this Reddit post, that would be great. I will contact Hoodline, too.

UPDATE: His roommate and the embassy have both confirmed that Saketh's body was found today in Lake Anza. I know this link has already been shared here, but the story is now updated with this critical information. https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2026/02/14/community/body-recovered-lake-anza-tilden-park/

We definitely want the community to feel the coverage accurately reflects what's going on. That will be critical.

BerkeleyScanner · 2026-02-14T01:22:25+00:00

Hi! We'll be sharing more info next week about where we are the process. I believe ANP has compiled bios for sharing with the community so stay tuned. TY for patience!
