Maybe Joel Colmonero Garcia? The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
I searched all Hispanic men with hazel or green eyes and there's not very many- Joel is one of the only ones who went missing before the IUD was found. His age would match if the PMI is accurate, weight matches, height is off by an inch. His hair is listed as 'sandy' but it looks dark in the picture. I'd say his nose is 'prominent', not as much as the IUD's is though.

@Goecke I don't think there's terribly much difference - noting that features can become changed a little by the effect of hanging (maybe not the nose so much, but swelling etc can make other features look a little different). Joel has a lot of ruleouts (this UID is not among them) so seems to have a proactive investigator - maybe turn this possible match into them if you feel it's a possibility.
