Here are some guys who've been missing for "several months" in the local area. There are many more MPs around St. Louis metro but most seem to be young runaways. Imo, this is likely a homeless person or drug user who found a vacant home to use as shelter.

Here is the website for the T-shirt he was wearing: Picture This Home Page

ETA: They also have a facebook page: Picture This Photo

Looks like a small photography business. I wonder if they gave away those t-shirts as some sort of business promotion?

Joseph Moore was reported missing from Quincy, IL back in 2005. He would have been 69yo in 2019. I wonder if he owned a shirt from Picture This Photo? I couldn't find any other info on Mr. Moore.

After looking at the link again, I think this was in Quincy, FL. This is most likely not Mr. Moore. Off to search again.
