What do you think of UP2772? I wonder if the jewelry and/or outfit would sound familiar to the family.

I would assume his family has given DNA as well as reporting him missing. It doesn't seem very likely he's been missing voluntarily all these years, or that he died at some point under another name in more recent years, unless he took the argument very seriously. He probably didn't survive 1981 or much past it. I wonder if he'd ever vanished through his window before like that?
