William seems like a good potential across the board on stats, timeline, location, etc. Athough, I am having trouble fitting his 130lb. booty into the pants ("remnants of Wrangler brand blue jeans, size 38W/32L") found with JD. This is not really a big deal for me given that he might simply have been wearing super big pants that day. When comparing the pics I see the resemblance. I just can't imagine that FACES hasn't already done a comparison but you never know. I say go for it.

James Cary Smith - LA Repository for Unidentified & Missing People
James Cary Smith – The Charley Project
258DMLA - James Cary Smith

James Cary Smith went missing in 1991 from about an hour away in Harvey, LA. He seems a bit small at 160 pounds to have been wearing a size 38 men's jean but I suppose it's possible his pants were too big. The other issue that makes me doubt he's a match is that there is no mention of a limp or any hip or head injuries and/or back problems. However his profile is sort of scant on details beyond the basics. For example, there's no mention of any scars, marks, dental work, or anything that'll help identify him beyond age, height, and weight. James and this John Doe are both listed in LSU Faces database and have dentals and DNA so I'd venture to guess they've been compared but nothing is shown in NamUs. I wish they'd give a list of ruleouts for all these Does.

ETA - James' profile on Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office database lists his age as 38 instead of 22 as shown on all other profiles.

Case #93-29 - LA Repository for Unidentified & Missing People

I'm not sure why the presenting the recon with brown eyes because the color of his eyes (and hair) is unknown, according to Namus.

Looking at the glasses. Could it be John William Wagner – The Charley Project ? John William Wagner?

Strange that the reconstruction doesn't include his glasses. In addition to changing what a person looks like, they can tell a lot about vision problems that could be identifying. I wonder what the prescription was? Some lenses can make the eyes look huge ("Coke-bottle glasses") or tiny. The frames themselves look like the usual brown-clear plastic that was fashionable back then, if a little smaller than usual height-wise.
