If you open the rendering of this John Doe you can see they gave him light eyes.. and his hair is not black in the rendering. I think this is NamUs #MP68816 Hunter Alan Bruner.

Visually i see where youre going but the biggest thing is that Hunter's circumstances lend themselves to suicide IMO. Tacoma is also very far from Chicago. Ofc it's not out of the question that a soldier may stage a suicide scene to go AWOL...

I was thinking he went AWOL.. I know Chicago is not very close. BUT I also couldn't figure out where he was from-if it was the midwest maybe he had help getting there. OR if he did go AWOL I would assume he wouldn't want to stay near where he left. And I also couldn't get over how much the rendering and the photo of Hunter looked alike.

I just can’t get over the similarities.

I emailed the cook county medical examiner. Fingers crossed that family finally gets closure.

Just received a message that it was not a match.
