In the post I'm quoting above by Gardener, click on the word Map in blue text....ultra interesting how close his Last Known Location (Elkin Park???) is to the intersection of I20 & 250 loop and the recent article says he was found near Pilot Truck Stop but south of West County Road 140....where oh where did that Elkin Park location come from?

Ive come across several NamUs posts that had questionable locations mapped out for “location last seen.” I guess I mean, where are they getting these specific addresses/locations from?
I’ve clicked on some for it to take me to a parking lot, a hardware store, or random street sign.
This may not be the case with Hamil, but wanted to throw it out there!

I'm thinking he hitched a ride after his walk-off, got dropped at the Pilot, and expired. It's actually closer to Odessa than Midland. It's an industrial area, not that sparse really.

No cause of death yet, huh?

I wonder why they're using 2/8/20 as DOD in one post and just stating 2019 in the other post. I wonder if they're not being given specific info until the investigation is completed.

In a case where someone goes missing and isn't found for a while, depending on the cause of death, sometimes they with list the DOD as the day they went missing (if it is known death shortly followed) or the date the remains were found and/or identified.

I came across another link with HCR’s obituary. When reading it a couple things stood out. I assume this is his obit: name, city, state, family members name, year of death all match.

BUT his age and date of birth do not match up. The thread title as well as some links state his age was 33.
His date of birth is May 16, 1981. That would of made him 38.

Hamil “Hambone” Cody Ross was born into this world on May 16, 1981 in Odessa, TX to Stephen and Judy Ross and departed this life to join God in 2019.
Hamil was destined for oilfield greatness.
Those left to cherish his love and memories are his father: Stephen Ross and sister: Courtnee Ross; as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, numerous extended family and friends.
