I just saw this talked about on another site and was a bit shocked. I'd become disenchanted with attempting matches and had given up hope of ever being correct about any of my attempts, but here we are. Maybe I'll get back into it. I took this to mean that others had already submitted Joseph...

Namus now says "DNA: Sample submitted - Tests complete" for Jessie Hoover, I'm astonished at how quick it's gone through. Other cases take years to get put in.

On Namus the DNA status for Jessie Hoover now says "Samples submitted - Tests not complete". I think this is progress in the case because I remember they didn't have DNA being tested before. After a discussion about missing Maine hikers on the Gerry Largay thread, I wondered about the Hoover...

It may have been deleted from DoeNetwork - this thread talks about a false ID for the January 7th 1990 one, the Doe page was taken down and seemingly not put up: http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?53373-KY-Owensboro-WhtMale-%28UP87%29-Falsely-ID-d-UID-Again-Jan-90 Someone linked...

On another thread we just discussed another kentucky UID found with hands cut off: NamUs UP # 87 ME/C Case Number: ME-90-21 Daviess County, Kentucky 25 to 40 year old White Male Date found January 07, 1990 Body conditions Not recognizable - Traumatic injuries One or both hands not recovered...

I misspoke earlier, in fact I used the Geographical Index not the Chronological One: http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/uid-geo-index.html#KY Can't find any male UID from 1990 in KY in DoeNetwork. identifyUs has one: Date found January 07, 1990 "Body conditions Not recognizable - Traumatic...

Is Stephen Hafer a good potential match? "Steven Hafer was last seen in late March 1989" 1831DMKY - Steven Allen Hafer The police seemed to think he was buried near a river but never found a grave. The heights are off but I think the faces have some resemblance. Color of hair and eyes match...

Looking through the chronological Doenetwork page maybe it was this one: http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/296umky.html I think that LE investigators severed the hands of the UID found in 1976 because of fingerprint issues: "The hands were so badly burned that processing by our lab was...

I submitted it using Doenetwork's match submission page, never tried that before so I thought I'd give it a go. http://www.doenetwork.org/forms/index.php?sid=56553 UID case page: http://doenetwork.org/cases/1568umky.html Gary Mullinax page: http://doenetwork.org/cases/4334dmar.html

A 500 mile drive is a bit of a stretch - the body was found at 16:30 on May 9th supposedly, so it would be difficult to leave Benton in Arkansas after a Mother's Day gathering and get to Shepherdsville KY in time for burning the body. The profile even says the remains were found 1 day after...

I just saw this recently-added profile and think it could be Gary: https://identifyus.org/en/cases/14560 Body was found on the same day and had a broken jaw, found in Shepherdsville Arkansas. Google Directions suggests a 524.0 mile drive between the two.

A recent addition: https://identifyus.org/en/cases/14560 "X-ray examination did show the subject had an old, healed fracture of the left “mandudiable” (perhaps mandible)." "Fracture of Madible - "Examination of the X-rays of mandible reveal an apparent old well healed fracture near ramus on...

Michael Nance responded and said the possibility of Joseph Spears is currently being explored by Harrison County Sherriff's Office and Nueces County Medical Examiner's Office.

To get the ball rolling slowly I sent a message to Michael Nance about Joseph Spears, so if that turns out a negative we have the others as potentials too. Now I look more closely Alan Soper was almost certainly in California, his clothes and wallet were found there, with foul play very likely...

Looking at others, an MP from Texas is Norman Prater, last seen January '73, height is perfect, as is color of hair and eyes, weight is not: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/6542/26 No facial hair in pics, hair is short, nose doesn't look like a good match either.

Oops, didn't notice that. Thanks.

I haven't submitted the Spears idea yet, I've been overenthusiastic in the past and I think I annoyed one or two Namus admins and embarrassmed myself a bit. No DNA is available for the UID so I guess they'd have to dig his remains up to see if DNA match is possible. Searching the case number...

I forgot to put **postmortem photo** in the initial post, could a mod change that? Thanks! :-) Charley Project says: "While Joseph was serving time at the facility, his family moved to California where his father was stationed in the Navy. He was aware of the move and planned to join them...

Put in Namus a week ago: https://identifyus.org/en/cases/14589 I searched findthemissing and I think Joseph Norman Spears is a decent potential match, especially the eyes, hair, height and weight: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/20957/34
