- Rodney has a heavier face in his photo, but a slimmer him may resemble the reconstruction although it is harder to be certain as Rodney's photo is at a sideways angle. Also, since only a skull was found, a lot of things are up in the air on how the John Doe carried his weight on his face and other soft tissue features?
- It is mentioned that they found hair at the site of John Doe's discovery. Perhaps the length of the hair in the reconstruction reflects the hair they found. According to Rodney's Iowa MPIC profile, "He has shoulder-length hair."
- Rodney disappeared in October 1986. John Doe's probable year of death is listed as 1985 to 1997.
- Rodney was 32 at the time of his disappearance. John Doe is estimated to be 26 to 36.
- Rodney drove away from his farm northeast of Mason City, IA in the middle of the night and his car was found abandoned several months later around thirty miles away in Forest City, IA. Vernon. Here it is on Google Maps relative to Nevada, MO.
- According to NamUs, DNA and dental records are available for John Doe. I am not sure about Rodney, but his father has done recent interviews stating his family is still searching for him so DNA is hopefully available.
