Description looks good. The PMI might be too tight - only a few months. Do we know anything about the circumstances Bruce went missing under? I know we've had plenty of crosscountry Doe matches, so I'm not dissing it as a potential match, I'm just wondering if there's more information than there is on Namus somewhere that suggests an LA connection. Sometimes Namus has very little, but there's stuff on DoeNetwork or Charley or a coroner's site that gives more background.

EDIT: I did try both links on the Namus, both were dead for me, 404 or not found.

I don't think its Bruce. His car was found abandoned in Florida on the day he was last seen, he was a very successful diamond merchant and he was carrying a bunch of expensive diamonds on the day he went missing. I'd assume he was robbed for his diamonds and his body dumped somewhere in Florida.

Oh, wow. Poor Bruce. Yeah, sorry buddy, you're probably not our Doe, you're likely close to where you were seen last.

Either that, or you're on an island somewhere with a new name and a cocktail. I hope it's that, but I'm sad that it's probably not the case.

Thank you, cheemsg. I didn't have access to that information.

I know right. Even the description says 'partial remains' and then all parts recovered. I'll try and submit but I'm not sure if he's already been ruled out.

Maybe that’s in terms of finding a complete skeleton as opposed to saying all the tissues etc were in tact

@Caring1 or @Myrrh any rules out for him?

0 rule outs per NamUs

Update: O'Neal responded, just the automated response that they'll review the information. Fingers crossed that this goes somewhere!
