FILA brand high top sneakers are not cheap shoes. Images online with the description given are men’s shoes. Possibly a guy playing basketball at the park wearing this type shoe, just a thought. A mans size 9 shoe is not necessarily a large adult, it could be a teen. It says nearly complete skeleton but they can’t determine the gender? The pelvic bones are usually a clue so I wonder if that part is missing.

Only one visible ruleout - MP20919 Lavonne Davis Jr

A suggestion:

MP39409 Donnie Ray Martin III missing since August 2017 was wearing "tennis shoes" when last seen. He was known to frequent John R Street and State Fair Avenue which looks to be only 1-2 suburbs away from Stoepel Park. www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/39409?nav
Donnie Ray Martin III – The Charley Project
While Donnie had some piercings, if all soft tissue was gone from these remains then they were unlikely to have been found.

Donnie has been compared to a number of MI UIDs but this one is not listed. I note in his WS thread it mentions that there were rumours he was killed and buried in the yard of an abandoned house.
