This case smacks of someone being taken out in a boat and shot, with the hope the body would not wash up ashore.

The most logical Namus match would be MP66812 61yo John Godfrey, missing from Juneau since one month before these remains were found. However Mr Godfrey was 5'11 according to Namus, whereas the remains were estimated at 5'7. Mr Godfrey's hair is listed as brown with the unidentified as 'sandy' but it's not possible to see Mr G's hair in the Namus photo as he is wearing a cap.

Also - assume LE has ruled out known/local cases. No ruleouts are listed.

Namus has recently been updated, no ruleouts listed.

Great news. Possibly a coincidence but the Namus record for the person I mentioned upthread was updated this month, though it is still active.
