I encountered this Doe Network UID profile from Vancouver.
*modnote*/adding information from link
Physical Description
Estimated Age: 35-60 years
Race: White
Sex: Male
Height: 5'11" - 6'
Weight: 230 lbs.
Hair: Brown
Eye Color: Brown/Green
Distinguishing Marks/Features: Surgical scar on his right shoulder and corrective dental work, including a prominent gap and/or splaying between his upper front teeth. Surgical pins in right shoulder.
Identifiers
Dentals: Unknown
Fingerprints: Unknown
DNA: Unknown
Clothing & Personal Items
Clothing: Unknown
Jewelry: Unknown
Additional Personal Items: Unknown
Circumstances of Discovery
The deceased registered as Mac Nebels from Atlanta, Georgia at the Hotel Dakota, now The Comfort Inn, at Nelson and Granville Streets on Sept. 11, 1999. The male was found deceased from natural causes in his room on Sept. 14, 1999.
A Joseph Mack Maples MP file exists in NamUs along with this Doe Network case profile.
Similarities I identified between the two profiles:
*Both have gaps between front teeth.
*Both have prominent noses.
*Indications of surgical scar and pins in UID shoulder which were named in MP's profile.
*MP profile specifies heart problems were a concern; UID died of natural causes (unspecified).
*MP sold off everything he had and donated to Humane Society and took a flight to Dallas, leaving behind his car, in August 1999. UID was found deceased in Vancouver hotel room September 14, 1999.
*UID told hotel staff his name was "Mac Nebels." This was suspected of being an alias. (There is no indication that personal identification was found on the UID or in hotel room.) Mack is the middle name of the MP.
*Heights match.
I emailed the BC Coroner's Services last night and received a response this morning that they have been pursuing this identity for a while and are in the late stages awaiting DNA results.
