Can anybody make out what the tats say? Looks like initials maybe?

The tats read to me as :
Tat 1. ACE
Tat 2. KM or HM it looks like the first part of this tattoo was scratched in & then ink added or possible decomp. If you zoom in it changes a bit. Color depth is different; I'm not sure all of this tattoo was done at once. I'm no tat artist so not positive just IMO.
Edit to add: those tats look much older than a 14-19 year old would have IMO. Unless they got them really young. They're not professional but they still look really blown out, idk. Maybe I'm way off base.

Not sure and the police have him at 5'10?

The article I linked likely got it wrong then. I definitely trust the direct police posting more.

And I agree with others about the tattoos looking older than what a 14-19 year old would have. I kept thinking jail tattoos but they would have his fingerprints if so

Went ahead and cleaned up the tattoo. It looks like KAT to me....or it could be tad backwards.

This young man has tattoos in light blue color. Would explain the fade...
Maybe the above is a mirror tattoo that reads as Tad?

Dang. I live in Knoxville and this is the first I've heard of this young man being missing! Sure sounds like a good possibility though.

From Levy's Namus: "Several tattoos that are light blue in color."
 
  • #13
Is it 5' 6" or 5' 10"? I'm confused...LOL
 
  • #14
I found 1 post about him that says he goes by Dario . I'm pretty confident I found his Facebook if you search using that name.

IF its him you can see by the photos the tattoos arent the same as the unidentified

*I overlooked "Dario" already being mentioned as his nickname

I found that guy too but I'm not one hundred percent sure he's the one who's missing.

CoffeeandaCig, the Namus and police reports say 5'10" so the shorter estimate is probably the one that's wrong.

I think he was found pretty quickly and height will be very close to their estimate. Maybe a 1/2" - 1" off? What do experts say on that? For example: If a deceased victim is located at the time of death and autopsy follows soon after, how much would their height be off when measured during the autopsy?

Does it mention anywhere what he was wearing? Shoes or specific clothing could also help ID him .. red shoes maybe (missing person Tadarius Levy AKA Dario)
