CA CA - Donald Gregory, 23, Banning, 1 Feb 1983

[Red Clover]

So I started down the process of submitting the match but there are a few discrepancies right off the bat between NAMUS & Doe Networks's case files for the UID with the same date- 5/30/1983 and place- Blythe, California.

"Gender: Unsure - 90% chance female"
Circumstances of Discovery
The victim's skeletal remains were located above ground in the open desert area north of the I-10, east of Wiley's Well Road, in Blythe.

No obvious trauma was detected. The pathologist stated "90% chance that it is female, 90% chance it is between 18-30 years, 90% chance of it being between 58" and 62" in height, and had been dead greater than eight months."

"Male, Multiple"
Circumstances of Recovery
Body found in irragation canal and may have dropped down through several levels before being discovered and recovered. Believed to have been in the water about two or three days or more. It is unknown where it 's place of origin was. No identification or personal belongings were found. Very poor quality fingerprints were obtained.

Any advice before I submit these as a potential match to the Doe Network with these discrepancies?

TIA!!

Weirdly enough I think they're different does, the circumstances aren't the same. The woman was skeletal remains who'd been down for years, the man is a body that was in the water for days- they also do have different namus pages.
This is the woman's.

So odd, on the same day? It does appear to be a vast area. I guess it's possible. I will scout around for another Doe Network entry.

My partner grew up in Banning and is the same age or would have been in the same class as the missing, Donald Gregory or Geddes Jr.

He said Blythe is quite a distance from Banning, way out I-10 and close to the Arizona border. Hours away.

Do you have a link to the Doe Network case for your UID, the 5/30/1983 Blythe, CA MALE?

You need both NAMUS & Doe Network information to submit to Doe Network which looks easy enough. (Thanks @MadMcGoo)

Looks like he doesn't have a DN page

Sad-- he was only 23. I wonder what happened.

Found his SS Death record on Ancestry.com that shows he was declared deceased Feb 1983:

(Truly asking) How could he have been declared deceased the same time period he went missing? Do they declare it retroactively sometimes?

Okay. Our male Doe- on NAMUS has wavy hair and is wearing blue corduroy shorts, thin dark mustache about 5'10", found in an irrigation canal

I could see this being Donald.
______________________________
Our other possibly female Doe was skeletal, possibly 4'10"-5'2" estimated, no clothing, jewelry or personal items, found in the open desert

 

[Red Clover]

Okay, it's my mistake.
I got the dates wrong.
Female Doe was found 5/1/1983
Male Doe was found 5/30/1983
I need better glasses, lol

*Edited to add: UID Found in SF area-
UID had a white t shirt and maroon shirt, the picture of Donald looks like he's wearing a shirt in that color range.
