I see why I didn't find him. I'm glad you found him because I almost posted something about thinking there is a distinct possibility that his given name is mispelled. The common spelling is Froilan.

In fact, it's not an hispanic name I've seen very often and when I've seen it, it has always been spelled as it is entered on namUs. Froilan.

IMHO one of us should contact somebody and find out exactly how his given name is spelled!


ETA: I sent an email to the NamUs case manager requesting verification of the spelling of his given name.

Most probably is just someone trolling the comments, but take a look at the one of August 13th, 2013 at 04:34PM:

"I left home at 15, and have not spoken to anyone in my family for 25 years. A couple of years ago I seen my picture in the missing database. I get a good laugh at it. I didn't ask anyone to look for me."

Any chance this Hispanic male found in Harris Co, Texas could be Froilan? Five foot seven, 141 lbs.

I just submitted this UID. I believe he may be Froilan.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Same age range/weight and County. Distance between cities is 47 miles and body was found 3 months after he went missing.

The county sheriff responded to my email within hours and said he would look into it!

Wanted to restart this thread!! Firstly, I wanted to mention that Mr. Rosales's name has been spelled "Froilan" as well as "Froelan". Could Mr. Rosales be #UP59717? Warning for the NamUs page: There is a postmortem image of the UID at the crime scene. The postmortem image strongly resembles Mr. Rosales and there was a roughly 2 year gap between his disappearance and the time the UID was found. The UID was shot in a park about 2 hours away from where Mr. Rosales disappeared. With MP being 15 at the time of his disappearance, is it possible that he ran away and was either involved in something dangerous or was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? I attached an image of the Doe's reconstruction (left) and an image of Mr. Rosales (right). I personally feel that MP resembles the UID much more than is shown the reconstruction, but out of respect for the UID, I do not want to attach the postmortem to this thread. Thank you all for giving Mr. Rosales and this Doe a moment of your time!!
