Was doin a little research and there was one that I found that I think was pretty close.

Barry Paul Duncan – The Charley Project

Barry Paul Duncan went missing from Phoenix on October 5, 1994.
One thing that stands out is that his truck was found on the Gila River Indian Reservation.
However, I have my doubts about the physical comparisons. Barry does not have any type of infection or scar on his cheekbone (but he could have gotten this later on) and there is an extreme height difference here. UID's 5'4 vs. Barry's 6'0. Charley pro. does say that Barry had a fractured jaw right ankle and right arm, but I think that the coroner would have identified that quickly. However, it states on Namus that there were partial remains found.
