I'm confused on how they determined he had stubble..

I think this is Jerry Williams-Comer. He went missing almost exactly 4 weeks before John Doe was discovered (postmortem interval is 4 weeks) and he is noted on NAMUS to have had "bad knees".

This potential match was mentioned all the way back in 2008. I wonder if he was ruled out

Jerry was thought to be a victim of serial killer Herb Baumeister and his remains are suspected to be amongst the many at Baumeister’s Fox Hollow compound. Jerry didn’t have a dental bridge and family has said he had excellent teeth. I don’t see any exclusions listed in NAMUS for this UID
