I was looking for matches for this UID and found a man who went missing from West Monroe about a year prior. Stats are off slightly but I’m questioning how they determined “measured” height and weight on decomposing remains found in a body of water. Height maybe. Their chins looks a bit different to me, so I can decide if this is worth submitting.

At first glance I see a resemblance, and I agree with you about the water, so it's worth a try. Good luck!

Could it be this guy? Right height/weight but a bit young.

This one is kind of tough without a photo. I don’t see any harm in submitting him!
Have you already submitted for Henry walker?
Also, what's the best way to submit?

I talked myself out of Henry. I may still submit him though.
Lately I’ve been submitting potential matches to Doe Network. It’s the most convenient, but you can also email the NamUs rep on both cases and/or the law enforcement contact. Here’s the form for Doe Network: Potential Match Submission To Panel

Ashton Joseph Washington seems like a good match for this doe.
Good catch! Ashton is a really strong candidate for comparison, imo. You should submit him to NamUs, Doe Network or LE?

Here's a Google Map showing where Ashton's car was abandoned (Crescent City Connection bridge) and near where JD was located. This site shows the mile markers along the lower MS River. JD was found near MM83. Eight months may seem like a long time for a body to travel such a short distance, but there's plenty along the way for it to get caught on or lodged under.

Please submit. :)

Definitely A strong candidate. Please submit. All they can say is no. Either way good job.

@victoriarobinson642 Hi! Did you ever submit Ashton Joseph Washington as a match for NamUs# UP54169? If so, did you hear anything back and where did you submit? Thanks!

Thoughts about MP51277 - Marqualus Davis as a potential match? The distance doesn't necessarily match up but there are a lot of similarities.

I did reach out to the coroner listed in NamUs. I have not heard back but I will try submitting to Doe Network and LSU Faces.

Bumping up. This man is still listed in NamUs as unidentified.

HW from post #2 is no longer listed in NamUs.

Deamonte M. from post #4 is still listed as missing.

Ashton JW from post #8 is still listed as missing.

Does UP54169 have any new exclusions since Marqualus D?

Also, here is an article from 2 years ago regarding HW. He doesn't appear to be missing anymore.
