There's little chance Danny Joe isn't the UID. I was considering going ahead and calling Marshall, Texas PD as it's listed on his Doe Network missing persons page and NYPD is notorious for taking forever to resolve UID cases.
OK, this is getting ridiculous, it is now 2022 and Danny Riley still has not been added to the rule-out list. They both have multiple comparisons listed on NamUs so they must have something available to check with... at the least they could compare autopsy photos of this UIDs tattoos with Danny's tattoos (assuming they have em photographed somewhere), or look for the various scars as described on Danny.Sadly both files (MP Danny Joe Riley and UID) are still up. Maybe this match didn't pend out after all, but I understood that NYPD does take the time.....It has been more that a year now, since he was submitted.

I know they've been submitted through multiple avenues, has anyone submitted through NamUs correspondents yet?
Maybe you can try submitting again. It’s been forever. It does not hurt. I have always thought it was a match.I came here to make this exact suggestion. Looks like it has been suggested by @madamx in 2018. I wonder how long it will take to either confirm or exclude.... 2018 was some time ago...
