One thing that I would like to note, if it had not been mentioned before, is his shoes and socks. Fila shoes were rather expensive and semi-elitist during this time. They were not "popular" with Deadheads that much. Not many Deadheads I knew wore athletic shoes or Filas or white socks. It would be interesting to figure out where that style of shoe was popular in the USA during the time and what cliches of people bought them/wore them.
I also agree with many of you that die hard dead fans did not purchase concert shirts. So, we can guess he was not a regular on the circuit. Unless his stuff got mixed in with the van owners, it is very odd as a dead head he didn't have any personal items. I have to say, I doubt someone took his stuff. People who travel a lot with the dead keep good track of their stuff.
Do we know anything about his hygiene? Had he shaved recently? I am looking at places where dead shows were held in 1995. A lot of East Coast shows during the summer.
Here are a couple of cases that have not been ruled out on Namus...

Chris Zahn was most likely killed April 1992.
Alan Morse
19 years old Date last seen October 01, 1989
DNA Status: Sample submitted - Tests complete
Morse was last seen in Austell, Georgia in October 1989.
At the time of his disappearance Alan Lee Morse was an Air Traffic Controller for the U. S. Navy stationed at Naval Air Station in Bermuda. Morse came home to Cobb County, Georgia on leave in October 1989 and at the end of his leave period was to have returned to Bermuda. At th end of his leave Morse told his Mother he would see her at Christmas and left. That night someone from the NAS in Bermuda called Morse's father looking for Morse.
It was soon learned that Morse had told his mother that his father would take him to the airport for the return trip and told his father that his mother would take him. Based on this inconsistency, the assumption was made that Morse had gone AWOL.
Early efforts to list Alan as missing met with reluctance since there was no apparent evidence of foul play. Alan's disappearance and subsequent lack of contact with family is completely out of character for Alan in that he enjoyed an unusually close relationship with other family members. A missing person report was taken in 2007.
The Navy has advised Alan's family that they will not prosecute Alan for being AWOL
Chris Zahn 21 years old Date last seen April 28, 1992
DNA Status: Sample is currently not available
Details of Disappearance Zahn traveled from his native Switzerland to the United States in 1992. He planned to make a tour of the country's major cities and national parks. After arriving in Florida, took an overnight bus ride from Jacksonville, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia on April 28. He checked into the American Hotel across the street from the bus station in Atlanta. Zahn placed a phone call to his travel agent in Orange County, Florida at approximately 4:15 p.m. later in the day. He called from a pay phone in Tucker, Georgia at a Denny's restaurant on Mountain Industrial Boulevard, and confirmed a May 19 reservation in Las Vegas, Nevada. Zahn has never been heard from again.
Zahn's credit card was used 31 times between April 30 and May 11, 1992 in Cobb and Carroll Counties in Georgia. The card paid for $2,800 worth of liquor, motel rooms, cologne, jewelry and other items. Harry Eugene Hale was arrested in February 1993 and convicted of credit card fraud in Zahn's case in October of that year. Photos of Hale are posted below this case summary. He admitted to using the card, but says Zahn allowed him to do it in order to repay a debt. Hale was a resident of Austell, Georgia at the time of Zahn's 1992 disappearance. He also owned homes in Kentucky and Florida. Hale drove a red 1993 Ford Probe with Georgia license plates in April 1992.
Authorities suspect that Hale may have murdered Zahn in order to utilize his credit cards, but have never discovered enough evidence to charge him in connection with the case. Zahn's cameras, camera bag and an Amish quilt he purchased as a gift for his mother were discovered in Hale's Kentucky home. Investigators said that Hale had a reputation for stalking bus stations and highways searching for young male transients in 1992. He is suspected of drugging and sexually assaulting young men in several states. There is speculation that he was connected to the 1990 disappearance of Mitchell Manns in Kentucky, but he has never been charged in that case.
Zahn's case remains unsolved, but foul play is suspected due to the circumstances involved in his disappearance.
