I'm sure it's possible testing didn't work? Has anyone contacted the police department running the case to see if they'd share what happened?

Guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. It can be frustrating to have to be in the dark because you really want to know who this person was (just look at how many people commented on the post about the Sumter County Does' finally becoming active cases after so long).Margaret Press responded to someone's question about him yesterday on the pinned post saying "the agency has decided to try a different approach." That's all we know.
You’ve not been forgotten.
Thank you for looking into this case!!! This boy, and several others, deserve much more attention than they’ve gotten to date. I spent hours upon hours researching these cases and posted several links to that research. It might be beneficial to you. Let me know if I can help in any way!Just found out about this story today, I found it quite interesting. I decided to do a little research around the story and Corll himself. I noticed a very common set of features (MO) about the victims
This MO won't tell us who this Doe was, but it might signal something out. From my research with timelines regarding this case, I'm going to guess that this Doe was from Houston Heights. I have no clue what that area was like in the late 60s/early 70s, I'll d0 a little more research regarding this area.
- 13-20 years old
- White or Hispanic males
- Brown or black hair
From what I found from several sources, it looks like this Doe was wearing:
It looks like Doe might've been possibly enlisted in the Marines, supported the Marines, or possibly had family in the Marine Corps. Doe had multiple unique physical features as well here, including:
- A khaki style shirt with an imprint on the back saying "USA" with a peace sign and USMC on the front (possibly?).
- Dark blue corduroy pants, size 32x30. (I'm not a clothing expert, but from my research this would be a size medium and mean that Doe might've possibly weighed around 144-177 lbs).
- Catalina brand striped swim trunks: Catalina was based in California and began national distribution 20 years after Doe was found. (Maybe the trunks were bought in California and/or Doe was from there).
- A pair of white or tan socks: they appear to be quarter or calf-length.
- A pair of Neolite brown boots that were size 10.5-11 in Men's.
- A rawhide wrist bracelet or anklet.
I know Corll often offered drugs to his victims, maybe he offered Doe some OTCs if he was possibly addicted? I'll keep digging and see what I can find here.
- Brown hair that was no longer than just below the ear.
- Approximately 5'2-5'7 in height.
- Mild form of spina bifida that might've affected how he walked
- Chronic irritation of the sternal ends of clavicle bones (possibly took a lot of OTCs to cope with pain?)
- Natural teeth with no fillings.
No problem. Also I can see a possible reason nobody has identified him too: he has two different faces. Idk which face is more accurate than the other. The hair in the LSU reconstruction seems very out of place for the 1970s.Thank you for looking into this case!!! This boy, and several others, deserve much more attention than they’ve gotten to date.

There are a dozen reasons why he hasn’t been identified. I don’t know if it makes me more sad or mad that he hasn’t. The cases of these boys (identified, unidentified, missing, and otherwise) are probably the saddest I’ve ever researched.No problem.

That is interesting and unusual. Reminds me of a boy from Louisiana...which I’ll kick myself for not remembering his name.Another thing I found might be a good clue here. From the approximate weight range I came up with, I calculated his BMI. Doe might’ve been on the heavier side, his BMI ranged from 22-26
That certainly would contribute to them slipping between the cracks of law enforcement. Considering they may have been murdered as early as the summer of 1971, whomever knew him in the area (such as a parent), could have moved before the bodies were discovered, or passed away before then too. The chance that they were a local boy whose parent(s) were still living in the area in August 1973 seems very unlikely.I wonder if this Doe was from out of state and staying with another relative maybe- like a grandparent or joint custody between parents? My mom's parents were divorced and she spent the summer with her mom and school year w/her dad.

If you didn’t already use this information, his pant size is 32” waist and 30” inseam if that helps.Another thing I found might be a good clue here. From the approximate weight range I came up with, I calculated his BMI. Doe might’ve been on the heavier side, his BMI ranged from 22-26
