Tyrone Isaac was last seen in Jacksonville on March 1987. He was last seen wearing a knit sweater and blue jeans. I wonder if the partial tattoo was his last name?

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department is looking into this possible match.

Good afternoon,

The information below has been forwarded to the most appropriate unit.

If they dont have any DNA of the John Doe, this may be be difficult to resolve.
