I definitely see a resemblance here. IMO the indentations/slits in Cameron and this Doe's eyebrows seem to line up, though Cameron's photo is blurry so I can't be certain. the weight is also a match and the DLC/DBF are only a day apart

I would submit this ASAP to the Philly ME. He bears such a striking resemblance, even the way his left eyebrow hair sticks up.

Another pic of Cameron - really looks like UID.

I sent an email in to the ME's office a few minutes ago, I'll update this post if/when I hear back

I will be shocked if it’s not him. Good find!

 

[RememberingRyan]

This is certainly Cameron, right down to the placement and size of his nose freckles. Between that and the eyebrow scars I don’t even think this one was added for DNA matching, had to have just been an oversight that they didn’t figure it out before adding his case to Namus. The probability that some other person of the right age, race, sex, and build is going to have the same eyebrow scars and freckle placement and live in the same state is about as improbable as it gets.

Well done @walt91

Makes me very sad, he is so young, this is somebody’s child

I just talked to the detective on the case. He is passing the info to the ME. I didn't get an answer when I called ME. It's gotta be Cameron. The case is with the homicide dept.

Look at his eyebrows in this picture. Then look at our doe's eyebrows.


I'm 100% convinced Cameron is our Doe. It's impossible for him not to be.

1: Reported missing from East Tupelphocken St
2: Known to frequent Anchor St
3: Found on Wynnefield Ave

2 speed cameras. I don't know if they would pick up anyone walking by.

Thank you for contacting the detective and thank you to @walt91 for finding Cameron and emailing the ME.

Like others have said, I would be shocked if this wasn't Cameron. He is so young... so tragic.

That definitely appears to be him, very sad. The most recent missing report was from just outside the city to the NW, not the Tulpehocken address (that was in September 2021).

This young man has a history of going missing. What was he running from - or running to? How incredibly sad.

The most recent was Dec 13th 2022, the day before he was found. I've already spoken to everyone on the case there. I can't post any more details until they've released to the public. Just have to wait now.

Yes, that was the one outside the city. I was saying that the address that you posted in a map wasn't the address from which he most recently went missing. Flourtown, PA is just outside Philadelphia.

They have everything messed up. His address is the Tulpehocken location, detective said he was reported from there on the 13th. Missing and Exploited has it wrong, including his name. He is from Flourtown.

 

[ptandj]

Interesting, I was wondering if he might be in a residential placement. There is a program in Flourtown (which is otherwise a mostly white suburb). How did they get it so wrong in the info?

I emailed ME as well and called them. They called me back after I spoke with the detective. I've been working on this case and found this thread after I identified him. I contacted them before I knew this thread existed. I also contacted Missing and Exploited and she said she would fix the information.
