Bumping case up.

NamUs shows a photo of his colorful T-shirt.

Perhaps he was unhoused and looking for a place to sleep, etc. His relatives may think he's out there traveling around. Hopefully he will be identified soon.

I'm assuming the car was abandoned?

It sounds like the owner of the car hadn't been driving it for long periods for whatever reason and it had been parked somewhere.
