Maybe this man? 3662DMTX - Jose Plazola, III He is born in 1962, would be approx. 58 yrs. in 2020. 5'9 like the UID. Not sure about the nose, but MP seems to be looking up a bit. Ears?

Its possible. Unfortunately im more apt to believe that he was homeless and wasnt reported missing

@othram have you ever worked with Louisiana LE?

Yes, I agree. With all the people identified lately and knowing their stories, lots of them belonged to the missing-missing (unreported missing persons) It feels harder to go look through the immens long lists of reported missing persons, but let's say it comes from compassion to still do so. A sort of 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained'.

This person looks like a good possibility to me.

When I checked Jose Plazola's missing persons file in Namus, I noticed he is listed as Hispanic/Latino there. That wouldn't add up, although the Doe Network lists him as white.

I've lost count of the number of matches over the years where the race and/or ethnicity haven't matched up. It's a clue, possibly.
