There is a video published by the Alaska State Troopers that provides more details about where he was found and includes a photo of the cloth found near him. His hair was 6 inches long, darker at one end and lighter at the other. The video contains graphic images.

It looks like a Parabon Phenotype Snapshot, which aims to predict physical appearance from DNA. Although NamUs lists him as possibly Hispanic or Latino, the Unidentified Wiki lists him as White/Native

Any rule outs for him?

Per the AK State Troopers' video from djanga upthread, genealogy is pointing to him being of Guatemalan descent.

i'm new to sleuthing and don't know how to submit cases to NamUs but to me the photo looks very similar to Avi Keys, a 19 year old missing from Fairbanks. the only discrepancy is that the MP is listed as white while the UID is listed as Hispanic. the village the UID was found in is about 5 hours and 30 minutes from where the MP was last seen.

I agree he looks similar to the parabon reconstruction. Good eye for finding that possible.
