Some comments please, and thank you.
1) Regarding the dental info.
- there is nothing in the fluidb on this
- it was added when Namus entry was entered
- the proper experts can determine if the loss was ante (with a healed, or healing socket, with trauma, etc) or post mortem
- it is not uncommon at all for tooth loss to occur post mortem. Even in the recently deceased and assuming opportune environment, teeth start loosening and can easily fall from the skull - animal activity or perhaps in the body recovery.
- people can lose teeth between their ante mortem dental records (particularly if very old) and post mortem recovery for a myriad of reasons, which is why and a forensic odontologist/expert needs to look at other identifying teeth characteristics
Having said the above, please do not exclude possible matches based on 4 missing teeth. It perhaps might raise the possibility if their records showed the missing teeth (or some of them), but from my perspective it should not exclude. We don't know. The experts in that field can make a better evaluation. I am also aware of a case where the dentist reported 4 missing teeth on a missing person which was not accurate. Because of that, and the original skeletal review classing the wrong sex on the individual, the young lady waited 20 years to be identified. Incredibly heartbreaking.
2) The Doe was found on Krome Ave (per fluidb entry) by a maintenance worker. Some info on Krome Ave (which is not listed in Namus):
a) According to the net,
Though the Krome Facility was demolished in 2015, the urban legends live on. Some say it was an insane asylum that housed an experimental CIA laboratory. The Krome Asylum was a popular place for photoshoots and bonfires, as well as teenagers looking for a Halloween thrill.
b) What is the history of Krome Avenue? (also 997)
Krome Avenue is named for William J. Krome. Krome was a railroad engineer for the Florida East Coast Railway and is known for leading an expedition to survey Cape Sable for a route for the Overseas Railroad to Key West. Krome ended up mapping much of Everglades for the first time.
There may have also been some been some railroads in/around this area historically, but I'm not able to determine.
3) Dallas Cowboys hat. While this person could have picked this hat up for comfort, etc., I'm leaning more towards he either supported them or was ok either way. That team is iconic (loved and hated) - so one would definitely be making a statement by wearing it.
