Maybe initials can be used.

I know James Crenshaw was asked (when he wrote his book) to refer to one well-known oldtimer as "The Man from Alabama"

I think these stories are great to read, and they need to be seen to keep the past alive, so would love to keep the stories coming, but I agree we should also be cautious.

Still, we should not likewise be paranoid either. There are many dogmen who have used their real names for decades and nothing bad has happened either. You gotta be guilty of something more than "being in a book," or being "talked about online," to have a reason to be worried. As someone who is familiar with investigation, you either have to be caught in the act, on tape, or set up in some kind of way (surveillance, etc.).

No one is going to haul anyone's ass to jail for being mentioned on an internet post about something that happend 30+ years ago
