Surprised this one doesn't have a thread but I couldn't find one.

He was found floating in cedar creek. His hands were bound and he'd been stabbed repeatedly. His PMI was 4 weeks and all parts were recovered.
He was moderately obese, and 'well-developed', 5'4 and 200 pounds. He had dark hair, a moustache/beard and grey eyes.
He wore a tan striped shirt, Levi's jeans with a 33" waist, size 8 Timberland boots, a blue hooded sweatshirt (size xl), black boxers with a teddy bears design, and a wooden cross necklace.

NAMUS

I don't suppose any of you guys could check if he has any rule-outs? His page is getting updated a lot recently.

Hmm, I guess they've just made the page more detailed. The summary looks a bit longer than last time I checked. I hope this one's close to an ID.
