Don't recognize the Firethorn brand, apparently these are Hawaiian- style shirts:

Several in different fabrics on eBay & Poshmark right now.

Surfing & diving are not things I know about -- tide chart, Off Shore Fishing Equipment?

Medically, that is a significant leg-length discrepancy, should be memorable?

Standard Industries in Ventura (Saticoy) does recycling, scrap metal, demolition, and freight transportation services/hauling.

Nothing earth-shattering there except maybe that the company still has the same phone number today that it did in 2006!

this indicates to me he could be a transient (duh besides he was found in a camp) but here where i live, transients collect plastic and aluminum for recycling to get cash.

I wish they could narrow down the age range.

I hope this gentleman will get his name back. He clearly didn't have it easy. May he be at peace.

Time to bump case up again. Whomever wrote up his clothing description for NamUs did a really amazing thorough job.

Does he have any Rule-outs? Just wondering about DNA.
