DLC is after the body was found, but not long after; DLC could be an estimate. His height is stated as 6', which is a few inches taller. His age is two years older at time of disappearance. It seems here that his hospital visit was before his visit to his sister's apartment; it also seems like his sister had reason to expect him back that evening (for example, if he had gone on an errand). -- IMO
