So, this case was updated recently on Doe Network.
3321UMCA
It is a very old case and isn't entered in NamUs (I checked to make sure).

The victim was located in Butte County, California on February 6, 1980.
He was murdered on the very same date his body was discovered.

Here are his physical characteristics:
Estimated Age: 17-18 years old
Race: White
Sex: Male
Height: 5'6" to 5'8"
Weight: 134 to 140 lbs.
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Distinguishing Marks/Features: Vaccination scar on upper lateral right arm; hairy pigmented nevus one-half inch in diameter on mid-right buttock.

Dentals and fingerprints are available but DNA status is listed as unknown.
As far as dentals are considered, he had good teeth.

Under the circumstances of discovery, several possible names are listed.
These are Torres, Joaquin, Benny and El Benny.

They don't provide explanation for why these names are considered (witnesses or what ?) but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Hispanic given these potential names.
As far as White Hispanics go, they aren't always listed under both categories in NamUs. Something to keep in mind when browsing the missing persons section.

I am not able to find an associated case on Namus, under either Butte OR Sutter County.

Still not on namus under Butte/Sutter county

7 Feb 1980, Enterprise-Record, pg 12

"The victim, whos identity is unknown, was pushed from the northbound train between Chico and Yuba City".

"The victim apparently was pushed around 5.p.m. The train was stopped at Dayton road in Chico at 5:45 p.m and the three men removed."

"Sutter county sheriff's deputies said the men were on the train illegally and passing through Sutter County when an argument started between Frye and the victim."
