Anyone with a NamUs registration able to tell if UP14117 is a rule out? Or, registered or not, thoughts? The reconstructions and height and age estimate fit well. Different part of GA, for what that's worth.

Alternately UP56396 right in Columbus, but basically nothing in terms of identifying info.

These skeletal remains were discovered 1.5 miles from Paul's last known location.
