Not very sure, but I found some similarities with Earl Lee Dannels (especially his lips eyebrows -I think there's a scar too- and nose)
Earl Lee Dannels
BTW, he doesn't have a thread in Websleuths.

Nice find! There’s some discrepancies, Earl has blue eyes and his disappearance date is a bit of a stretch.

Earl went missing in 1969 and our doe was found in 1978.

I had some catching up to do on this thread. I pray Michelle is well and progress is being made in regards to her brother Jeff. Looking at those photos, he looks very much like our guy here. You can even see what looks like the same scar above his eye in one of the yearbook photos.

Either way, I hope Michelle is at peace and someday she finds her Jeff.

Hoping the same, I’m kinda thinking that she’s in contact with LE or that progress is being made.

I’m sure she’ll comment soon.

True. I was very distracted yesterday, I guess. Sorry.

It’s okay, on a positive outcome, Earl got a thread started!

Hello guys! I enhanced a photo of Jeff Daum, who we think might be Michelle’s brother.

I’d like to know if it’s okay that I can post it for further comparison.

The photo's have been posted on here so I think you can.

 

[Feme98]

Here are the enhanced photo of Jeff Daum, with detail on his face!

 

[Grungster]

The resemblance is STRIKING...I was a little disappointed when I first saw the yearbook photos but now that they are enhanced, I personally believe we have a positive match.

 

[Feme98]

I also think Jeff is the LBJD, however, we don’t know if he has family in the US or if LE has a route to track his family down.

On a sidenote, i think that I see a scar on his eyebrow.

 

[Grungster]

Didn’t Michelle say he came from Minnesota?

 

[Grungster]

He had a brother named Dennis too I think

 

[Feme98]

Yes, she said it on some threads back in 2019

 

[Grungster]

I hope she's doing okay, she was really sick from what I remember.

Jeff Daum looks like a good possibility.
If he cannot be located then the next best thing would be to look for his brother Dennis who'd hopefully provide DNA.

Also, a Ancentry search of Jeff Daum, born on July 9th 1956 (I think that was his birthday, the same that Michelle gave) says that he’s currently living and has a active landline.

Have you found anything else about this Jeff? It's still possible he's alive.

Other that the Ancentry search, I couldn’t find any further information on him.

What does Ancestry reveal?

What does Ancestry reveal?

His alleged birth date, I remember reading on one of these threads, that he apparently was alive, but we couldn’t confirm that this was Michelle’s step brother.

I think our doe is almost certainly not JD. His features are much stronger than the doe's: he has a wider nose and thicker, darker brows, and his hair looks thicker, darker, and a different texture.

Plus, per Clustrmaps and other public records sites, JD is very much alive and he and his wife own a home in California.
