Presumed Located CT - Antonio Finklea, 37, Uncasville, 06 Jul 2021

[ChloeA13]

An Uncasville man has been reported missing and police are asking for the public's help. Antonio Finklea, 37, was declared missing Tuesday. He is 5'9" and weighs 192 lbs.

When searching on NamUs, I came across an unidentified with the same name in the same town. I needed an extra word on whether to reach out to authorities, or whether this seems about right.

His photo and poster is on this, and this is the NamUs article:
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

I'm stuck because the height/weight are different on NamUs, but the Possible First/Last is the same. It also says the body was found in Uncasville, a small CT town where he was reported missing from, with a moderately small population.

NamUs puts the decedant's PMI as 8 weeks, so I'm doubtful this is Antonio. Also, the remains were near complete or complete skeleton. Given that, the height and weight may not be accurate. You can always submit to NamUs and let them rule out.

As we do not know the date last seen of this missing person, I would submit it. Maybe the missing person is not in frequent contact with people for someone to report him missing immediately

Uncasville itself may be small, but it has Mohegan Sun, which is one of the largest casinos in the U.S. Many thousands of people from all over come and go through the area every day.

I sent it along just in case. Said they likely already knew but what could it hurt.

In your opening post you do have a missing poster added as picture but we need s source link for this information for opening.
However this would also help to determine if this is still an active case (as it is only visible that the silver alert is issued early July).

Is there any indication out there that he may be deceased?

Montville PD has a post on FB issued early July, but no comments or updates are visible. I am not seeing if they usually provide updates, so it might be worth to crosscheck with them if the post is up aa active or just not updated

I apologize as I didn't add the source of the photo.

This and this link are where I discovered his information. There is unfortunately no indication that he is deceased or alive, I have tried searching pretty deep and cannot find much.

I heard back. Namus rep says they are aware and so is local le. So now we know they know.

Thank you so much for reaching out. I am glad they are aware.

His Facebook status that included Mohegan Sun made my mouth drop on account of the relation to it.

I think he might have been a frequent flyer. I completely agree, it is a very popular spot amongst tourists, but also CT residents. I lived there for over 3 years, which is why this unfortunate case hit a spot.
