Looks like he was declared deceased in the early 1990s. Interesting that he's unclaimed, it seems as though he had kids who are still alive. Maybe LE couldn't reach them.

Interesting that his tattoo is noted here and it was not noted in the original NamUs profile. Glad to see he’s been identified and now has gone home.
