Seriously "foul play is not suspected" but they still haven't been able to locate him in 16 years?

I posted Eric as a suggestion against the remains of an adolescent (unknown race and gender) found 30 miles away in 2014, ten years after Eric went missing. www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/or-clackamas-co-adolescent-gender-not-known-up66279-sep94.525010/

No photo in NamUs? How sad, JMO.

I wonder if they think he made it back to his father safely and is fine, living his life as an adult now.
Or do they think he met with misadventure or similar?

That UID has since been id'ed as female.

Bumping up case one more time. I can't find any other mention of his case, aside from NamUs, though.

It says that body was found in 1994, not 2014.

I wonder why they added him to NamUs. Any exclusions?
