Although West Deptford is far from Teaneck, it's do-able

Teaneck to West Deptford

Anyway, you said not a match - I mapped before reading the whole post lol

There really isn't a lot about him from a quick search.
I've lived in NJ all of my life and have never heard of him. I actually worked fairly close to where he's missing from; and never saw it in the newspapers.

hm...now that I am thinking about it, I'm sure I saw something about him on TV years ago, like Dateline, 20/20 or one of those shows. Mensch, has his story aired on TV in the past? It just seems so familiar...

if this potential match was ever submitted, Zeichner is not on the rule out list. here is the UID's Namus profile:

at least the original link to the NJSP has a drawing. no one bothered to include that in the UID's Namus profile.

This could be James Welter missing since January 1, 1986

UID info is here:

Artist rendition of the unidentified is similar to James Welter, but with a beard.

But there is no DNA for the UID and the UID is 1000 miles from where Mr Welter lived.

This was already submitted to the Doe Network.

Kenneth Wayne Klopfenstein?

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

The timing makes sense (April 19, 1986 missing vs. April 26, 1986 discovery), considering that the decedent's eye color is known despite the body being listed as unrecognizable because of decomposition/putrefaction, which is odd. That suggests to me he couldn't have been in the Delaware River too long. The physical description matches pretty closely and Kenneth and the Doe share a resemblance, IMO. I have no idea how he could have gotten from Washington to New Jersey, though.
