Hi all, I've been meandering my way through the 1980s at the North American Missing site. Not finding anything besides a few new names for tall, skinny missing guys that fit the age group-- but they don't seem particularly promising (due to locale & circumstances or photo). I'm keeping a linked list in case the list LE is currently checking doesn't pan out.
For wenwe4, I noticed a couple updates when comparing a couple names I found to those all ready on the alpha list:
One, for *
Strassburger, Dale - **Dental information / charting
is available and will be entered later (alpha lists says not available, I think)
The second thing concerns:
PAULSEN, Bill Edward 5’11” 154 lbs. Brown DOB 1957 MSG 1985 (p74 t2) #298 (Lancaster, CA) Los Angeles County Sheriffs Case Number: 850961711 *no dental no Namus
I found him listed as Bill Edward Pauls
on (spelled with an "o" instead of an "e") on the North American Missing site, and then was able to pull him up on the NAMUS site as well-- where I learned that both DNA and dental are not yet available:

If you click on the North American link above, there is a photo of him which looks a bit more similar to the model (the one on the left, below). The description of circumstances on these two sites is also an interesting fit. Here are both photos (the one on the right below is found on NaMus; both photos are found on the North American Missing site):
Here is the (consolidated) description of circumstances:
"Suspicious circumstances. Last seen March 1985 in Fontana, CA. Per family, not seen for months and reported missing in Aug 1985.
Rumors are he may have been killed."

Since his DNA is not yet in NAMUS, he hasn't yet been excluded by the system; it might be worthwhile to track down the family who reported him missing (if possible), and ask about that t-shirt and/or dig for some dental records or dna samples.
