From 2011: National tour honors missing Ascension man

Troy Marks was last seen on June 6, 2006, in the area of North Dourgenois Street in New Orleans, where he was working while living in a halfway house...

...About a month later, Troy Marks’ company vehicle was found...The windows of the pickup truck had been shot out...

Baton Rouge Police spokesman... said the department’s homicide division is investigating the case but does not have any leads...

...no evidence that points to foul play...

This article gives the date he went missing as June 6, 2006 and his height as 5'8".

I think it sounds like his ex-wife put a lot of effort into searching for him and that he did not want to leave.
I hope his family will still find answers soon.

I agree. The potential match must have been formally ruled-out, though, if it's on the exclusions' list.
