Although nothing matches - location, timeline, age, eyes, height, scars - pretty much everything and both appear to have DNA so should auto rule out, he reminds me of “Bobby Copeland”.

Unidentified Person Case
Jon’s sister is interviewed on this episode of This is Actually Happening podcast. Really good in-depth insight into the case.

I still wonder what he was doing in Nederland or near Nederland. Obviously he was placed there because he made (the last) phone call to a friend being there. Is it possible he was checking out a skiing slope?
Good question. How do they know this was a fall while hiking? No clothing/accessories mentioned in the file that could lead to that conclusion. Besides that I don't think this UID is Jon, because of the distance between Nederland, CO (last call) and the Angeles National forest (approx. 15 hours) or the circumstances around the story.Blonde, 5’10” male found December 1981 in CA. Age estimated at 15-25.
PMI 1981 (No photo or recon that I can find)
Could have been dumped rather than a fall.
Circumstances of RecoveryFound over cliff. apparently fell from cliff while hiking above the Switzer Camp area of the Angeles National Forest.
