I'd bet that this man was from Chicago - Channahon is about 50 mins SW from the city center.

I don't know when the DNA analysis was done in this case, but it might not have been as complete as your methods.

This is what shows up when you plug the coordinates into google maps:

It seems that he was found nearer to Joliet which is what the images on NamUs say. The area is definitely partially wooded and near fields. I wonder if this man was maybe working on one of the farms before his death? This is a strange case, I wish there was more information.

Excellent news! I’m glad Donald has his name back. This is one that I don’t see a resemblance between the recon and (known) photos of Donald. Unimportant now, but I like to compare images after the fact.

Rest peacefully now Donald.

I can see it, but the photos above are clearly from childhood, maybe a yearbook? And the reconstruction is of a middle aged man. I can see how the kid in the photos could look like the recon after twenty or thirty years of living.

Sleep well, Donald.
