Fairy, I rang you about this tonight, but we have both been so busy, unable to connect.
I think, this time, after the 100th call, I have a good connection. I will email them with all info sent prior and some questions tomorrow.
Again, will update as I am.
I also found this myspace page for Depatie...

I think his father is Hispanic...which would make him hispanic/white. That also fits the description of the unidentified. They are also in the same age range and height range. The only thing that confuses me is the date of death listed for the unidentifed in Washington is 2003. Body was found in 2004. Depatie has been missing from Montana since 2001. But Washington and Montana are close and there is a picture of Depatie on his myspace in Washington.
Again, I found these two guys by reading other posts...but they weren't connected. I just remembered the jawline.
Fairy, you are right about the chin. Didn't really notice it until you pointed it out. I guess I was focusing on the jawline, age, hair, and height being so similar. Still not sure, maybe if the other guy that has recently been submitted is ruled out then this may be a possibility??? What do you think?
IDK - a lot of Depatie's stats and circumstances fit. I get so frustrated with the clay reconstructions, but with this UID, I think they went too far the other way! Looks like a real guy and it could be very misleading when looking for a match. IMO, the jawline will be the key here and John is a good possibility. What do you other sleuthers think?
Does anyone think this is worth following up on? I just really thought they had a lot of similarities, but I am definately not an expert!
