While I was looking for more information, I found something that might be useful.

If you go down to June 17th 2016. It lists more information. I don't know if they just never updated the Namus or what, but the unidentified male was found at the exact same place as this UID, so I am assuming that it is the same case. Any thoughts?


It could be two different cases though.

The news article seems to be the same decedent.

There is a lot of pictures on namus now. I looked up the beltbuckle and it seems to be from Ferragamo or a knock-off from it. Sweatshirt is from Akoo. That's easy to see from the label.

The clothes all look male to me. Judging by the style I think he is something like 15-40y.

Does anyone know how long the body might have been in the water to disintegrate that much?

Stoney Gavin disappeared from Chicago in July 2015, and looks like a possibility.

Not a lot of information to go on. The clothing is pretty recognizable, but no info on the decomp of the body? Just bones? I hope they have DNA. It might be hard with the degree of degradation but maybe they can get it from the bones?

Bumping case up. Still in NamUs. Hopefully he will be identified in 2022.

Bumping up. This is what they currently have. I wonder why they can't even estimate height. I hope more is being done with his DNA.
