I was almost 100% sure that JD was Bayard Cousins, the sketch looks just like him imo, but the scar and the dentals say Charlie. I hope we can find a yearbook photo of Charlie somewhere to compare.
I could find no record of a Charlie Wallace missing from Tennessee. I found the VA missing website difficult to load on my ancient iPad. Perhaps someone can?So in 1975, where would you be that you might resort to wearing mismatched clothes and lack of shoes...mental facility? According to the note, he said he wanted his parents to think he was missing..maybe if he ran away from there, that's exactly what they would think...
Question is, was he ever reported missing....and if not, why?
I think I found them too. They both give his full name as Charles Howard Wallace. I could not find any records or an obituary for him. I don't have a subscription to any of the school yearbook sites. If someone else does, maybe they could find a picture. There seems to be only one high school in Lexington. From the conflicting age data he may have graduated between 1971 and 1974. MOOI think I've found obituaries for Charlie Wallace's parents,both say they were proceeded in death by their son Charles. That's about as far as I've got
Near his home in TN the main state site is this one. It was there in the 1970s, I can confirm. Formerly known as the Bolivar State Hospital, it's now called the Western Mental Health Institute Western Mental Health InstituteI could find no record of a Charlie Wallace missing from Tennessee.

In terms of a mental facility: Charity Hospital
I’m still leaning towards someone who lived in Belle Chasse or someone who moved from either another part of Louisiana or possibly Texas. Look on a map, it’s the back of beyond with The Mississippi River and Highway 23 on one side bayous and lakes on the other. As I said before, difficult area and terrain to navigate unless you know it very, very well.
And I will add to that, only someone from that parish, St Bernard, NOLA, an historian, or tour guide to Jean Lafitte park would know the meaning of Plaquemine.

Easy enough to look up. It was a newspaper from several states north of there, the March 27, 1975 Post-Crescent, Appleton-Neenah-Menosha, Wisconsin.The beginning of the thread should say if someone made this thread from a missing profile or a newspaper report.
It was originally in the States-Item and Times-Picayune within the week or so of his death and coroner’s autopsy (I have issues with that) and would have been put on Reuter’s or another service like that. March 27th is over a month from his death.Easy enough to look up. It was a newspaper from several states north of there, the March 27, 1975 Post-Crescent, Appleton-Neenah-Menosha, Wisconsin.
