I must not be searching correctly and don't see him on NCMEC - how did you find him on NCMEC?

I found him via the interactive map they have on there.

Thanks lightofmine99! I didn't realize they did recons without having the case on their site. The recon on Namus does say uploaded yesterday, so maybe that will be forthcoming. I recall bones being found (somewhat regularly, actually) in caves in Hawaii; part of the ancient/traditional burial. It would be interesting and perhaps helpful to know the circumstances of the recovery. Given ruleouts of male and female, they likely have DNA on file - I hope so.

Can they really not determine approximately how old these remains are, at least within a few decades?
