The lettering on the pen is clearly worn off; METACORE would look like FTACORE if the M and the bottom part of the first E were missing.

ok I found this guy who when missing from Illinois Cook County.. I noticed I-80/90 goes straight from there to Where he went missing in the direction to where the unidentified was buried..
Also I noticed that the jacket the guy was wearing they said was a tan buckskin with collar.. which Looking up Barry Dolan Western style jacket I have come across a couple that look like that..

Michael D. Mansfield
Missing since December 31, 1975 from Lincoln, Cook Co, Illinois.
Classification: Involuntary
.
This seems pretty unlikely for a couple of reasons: firstly, the boots, Canadian-made Kaufman Badlanders (trademark registered 1976, after this Mansfield's disappearance); secondly, the pen (bearing the name of a business from Detroit) which had an American flag on it, suggesting it might've been a "patriotic" Bicentennial thing (possibly added to office-supply company catalogues for the bicentennial); the pattern of wear on the pen, based on the "M" and part of the "E" being missing, and the likely location of those letters on the barrel, suggests that the deceased had probably had the pen for a little while (long enough to do some writing with it; the letters were printed on so that the worn-away letters would be where the thumb of a right-handed writer would be in contact with the barrel). The evidence of both the boots and the pen suggests sometime after 1976, but before 1982 (adverts in the Detroit Free Press for 1983 show an address on Fort Street, they're in the 1982 Detroit white pages on Wabash Street) and probably not later than 1980 or so (in 1979 Metacore shows up in the minutes of a Detroit City Council meeting for "redevelopment of a commercial district at 4500 Lawton", which is very close by to their address on 17th Street, but about five or six blocks away from Wabash).

Progress in North Collins human remains case

The Sheriff’s Office received the lab’s initial report on Oct. 10, and according to that report, the medical examiner was able to get a full profile using nuclear DNA technology.
Officials say this will nearly double the chances that a match could be made from the database, meaning the body could eventually be identified.
The profile is scheduled to be uploaded to federal and state databases next week.
NORTH COLLINS, N.Y. – It's been almost a year since a hiker noticed a boot sticking out of the ground, a bone still attached.
The rest was buried three feet under the ground in the woods behind Marion J. Fricano Memorial Park in North Collins.
A meticulous excavation by Mercyhurst anthropologists lasted the weekend of June 10, 2017, and for 11 months, Erie County detectives have been trying to piece what they found together.
https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/l...decades-old-north-collins-murder/71-549063462"I think we can say unequivocally, we believe that it was a homicide,” said Captain Gregory Savage.
Savage heads the detective division at the Erie County Sheriff’s Office, and has spent the better part of a year trying to solve this murder mystery.
Very little of the skeletal remains were salvageable...but other clues held up surprisingly well, like a pen with a Detroit address on it.
"He had a leather tri-fold wallet. He had a comb,” Savage said of certain intact clues.
The remains were also found with a pair of Kaufman boots, likely produced in the 1960s or 1970s. A jacket with a Barry Dolan label was also produced in the 70s.
Investigators and anthropologists say the remains are likely a white man, who was between 15 and 25 when he was killed, possibly with curly, dirty blonde hair.
But detectives admit they won't tell us everything; They're keeping a few details secret in case someone ever reveals a detail that only someone with information would know.
Using sophisticated techniques, New York City's Chief Medical Examiner office was able to get a nuclear DNA profile from bone samples. Erie County has sent that to every federal DNA database and missing persons list to no avail.
Without a DNA match, identifying a man from a 50-year-old murder will be difficult.
Captain Savage hopes a similar DNA profile might lead him to a living relative who might remember a cousin, uncle, or grandfather who went missing.
