I found this missing person that I thought resembles the recon. His case file says he might be in southern California. Both are biracial; however, Dennis is Asian and this Doe is estimated to be possibly Hispanic. The timeframe is 2 years after his disappearance which could be possible.

this guy has a really good recon, NCMEC always does amazing work.
there are a lot of similarities (so i thought id bring it up) yet a lot of differences (so im not running with it!) between this guy and Domingo Ramirez. Both are young Hispanic men, around 5'7" tall, weight around 140lbs, mark on the right arm (scar vs birthmark) wear 'alternative/goth' clothing, Domingo was last seen ~2 weeks before this man was found, and there is good evidence that Dom was kidnapped/taken to California. Major problems are that Dom wasn't described as having any tattoos (though it never said he has none, just that none are described), he has a large abdomen scar that probably would have been mentioned on an UID, and his ear is pierced rather than his bottom lip. Also, the clothing descriptions aren't similar at all.
Regardless, thought I'd bring up since the facial similarities and timeline makes me uncomfortable...

I hope this victim has his name back, and that he is up in the sky talking with Darrell and Vinnie from Pantera.

 

[Grungster]

Also, I am talking about Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul who were in Pantera (they were a band). Darrell was murdered on stage just months after this guy died, and Vinnie died of a heart attack

 

[Grungster]

Me and him likely would have gotten along greatly, we both were/are big fans of Pantera. RIP

Wait! I didn't know Vinnie died! Aw :'(

Hi, I can’t find this UI on Namus? I wonder if he is identified?

 

[Malene]

Nor can I find him on NCMEC...one can only hope he got his name back.

 

[annemc2]

This would be incredible having another person get his name back after so long! It's like there's a streak right now!

@Grungster I grew up in the area that the band was from. At a certain point on a hill you could see the purple "P" lights on the front gates of their house!

(edit - I'm pretty sure it was Vinnie Paul's house)

I am really upset because we have so much info to find this boy a name only to find out it has been 16 years since he was found. Of course, I am looking over some people who have gone missing tho it is quite hard for some reason even if from 2004.

From some digging, I found a few people who look somewhat like our doe tho timelines are a bit eh for me. I just hope we can find his name soon.

What do you guys think?

I think he's probably been identified as his Namus file has been offline for more than 3 weeks and his LA Medical Examiner's Office file seems to be down as well.

That is good to hear, I hope so.

What do you guys think?

The last two people, Jesus and Lazaro, went missing in the 2010's so it couldn't be them. The NamUs pages for the other possible IDs mentioned on this thread are still up so I don't think any of those guesses were correct. Crossing my fingers that they will publicly announce this man's identity, cases with young people make me so sad, I wonder where their family is and if they're looking...

 

[Grungster]

Coroner just got back to me, this Doe has been identified but no other information was provided.

 

[Grungster]

Uh oh, I just got another email, his family has not been located.

 

[Grungster]

I just found him, he was identified via fingerprints as Edgar Gonzalez.
