Could it have just been lightened from sitting in the desert sun?
That's very dark brown hair compared to the hair on the unidentified person's composite picture, IMO.It's my understanding now that the persons hair has to be REEEEEEEEEEEEEDDD!!!!!!!!!! Not brown or light brown or black.
I had a guy that was a perfect match, but the Detectives said he was a no go because of his light brown hair.

Ok, is that the actual hair? Because it's looking light brown to me. Also, I went back and looked at the reconstruction again.

And it appears to be redish/light brown kinda like my own. When I think of red hair I think of the reddish/orange color I see on some people sometimes like this:

So, there is red/orange hair, and reddish/light brown hair
Thank you for the picture. As I imagined, someone could have called that brown when they entered into the missing person's database. That could also be called red, dark blonde, apricot blonde, strawberry blonde or auburn depending on who is describing it. With the picture, we know to stay away from the dark browns and the light blondes now. If there's no picture in the missing person database, nobody should be ruled out based on the words used in the database because the color description or this hair is very, very subjective.Here is a sample of the hair in sunlight.

Personally, I would feel more comfortable posting possibles based upon age and height vs. hair color. I honestly do not want to be the one who ruled out a possible match just based upon hair color (which often changes, bleaches in sun, looks different in different lighting, is subjective based upon who is doing the description, etc).
I know it means more work for LEO, but I would rather they be the ones to tell us it's not a match instead of me making that decision. Just my thoughts.

If possible, I'd like some clarification from the detectives if they would like me to continue adding "ALL" our suggestions to the master document with the detailed comparisons below- regardless of whether the person has brown or strawberry or light blonde or dark blonde hair. I think we should add them all and we can easily type in a RULED OUT if all other information doesn't match.
Yes, please add them all, regardless of whether or not the hair appears to match. Hair color is only one aspect. I wouldn't rule out anyone based solely on hair color since it can be easily changed. For example, Dean Spencer's hair is nearly completely gray in the December 1991 photo. The way you have the note next to his name on the master list "Not moved forward at this time" is perfect. I wouldn't call it a "rule out" until something much more definitive (dentals, DNA, etc.) is compared. That way we can focus our efforts and resources on more obvious matches first. When we get all those ruled out, we can start taking a second look at some of the ones that don't appear to be as promising.
Hopefully that makes sense. The list is looking great so far! Great way to keep all these potential matches organized so nobody falls through the cracks.
That looks natural to me. I can see the golden highlighting mixed in with the predominate apricot/copper highlights.Are you sure it has not been color treated? (ie bleached) Dark hair will have red pigment and would turn a strawberry blond or orangish when lightened. To me it doesn't look natural. Seems to be darker pigmentation on some more then others.

I found this link with some much better photos of Christopher. His daughter is looking for him.
