Skeletal remains found in southwest Birmingham house

Under "View Comments" for this article, someone commented "RIH, Grady", which leads me to believe someone knew this man! I search for Grady in AL and came up with a match that seems likely. Can someone help me with how to go about submitting this?

I tried going to the comments section on the article you linked, but it tells me there are no comments. Is the comment you mentioned still there or was it removed?

Grady Miles is listed as 6'0" whereas the UID's height is estimated at 5'6". Other than that, it seems like a good possibility.

Are there any exclusions for this UID on NamUs?

There are no NamUs exclusions.
A google search of Grady's name show's him living at that same address as the uid:
PUBLIC RECORDS DIRECTORY - Grady Miles

I think it's pretty likely the uid and the mp are the same.

Perhaps they are waiting on DNA to come back to ID him as Grady? It can take over a year sometimes. And with skeletal remains sometimes it is hard to get a good DNA sample and takes more than one attempt.

JMO.

Weird, I went back to the article and the comments are gone now! It was there when I posted this originally.
