How sad. How is this poor person going to be identified? It's been 20+ years already, and they don't even know male or female.

NamUs says the estimated age range is late teen/young adult.

I thought that would be the case. How sad - maybe they didn't get any good identifiers?

I think DEP is unlikely for this UID. He left in 1992 in a car that was never recovered. The other two men possibly. They disappeared closer to 2000.

Bumping case up. I wonder if these remains are still available for DNA extraction...
