oh wow, this is very close to my childhood home. The area where this John Doe was found is rural, but not desolate by any means. It is very heavily travelled as a means to avoid I-90 between Spokane, WA and Northern Idaho. I don't see any compelling missing persons in NAMUS from Idaho, Washington, or Montana that line up.
