Possibility?
There is a small Japanese community in India (在インド日本人, Zai Indo Nihonjin)which consists mainly of expatriates from Japan or Indian-born people of Japanese ancestry. Japanese people in India - Wikipedia

Did you mean to link a different thread? Patel doesn't seem to have any links to the Japanese community in India. Kinsman was white, and I believe his remains were found among Bruce McArthur's other victims

I’m not sure, I thought there were possibilities at the time I posted. Thank you for the feedback. I’ll need to review. I was looking at this one at the end of a very long day.

Bumping up.
I wonder how many bones were found and what the last owners of the property have to say about it.
Are there any rule-outs?

Eiji Tomita?

His height is around 5'3 (UID is 5'1-5'8) but is missing from Pasadena, CA. I know the distance is far but is not necessarily a rule out. Tomita is of Japanese descent (same as UID).

It doesn’t say how recent, so what if this is the Howard Tanaka that they thought was the Chimney Madison Doe?
I think Superior and Chicago are far apart, but road-trips are a common thing here and not it’s unlikely someone would travel to Chicago from anywhere in WI. Jmo moo
