I have written down that they won't reopen without consent from family, but since family is not known, it's kind of at an impasse. I think this was mentioned in the first thread on the case, if someone can locate it.

Maybe there's a way around it. If a relative of a potential match is found, could they give consent?

Records were lost and this UIDs exact burial plot is unknown due to Hurricane Katrina. This is from an email exchange with FACES in 2024. There are a handful of young men I would like to see compared to this UID , but unless his remains are found, I dont know how this can be done. I find it interesting that this UID was one of Doe Networks "Cases of the Month" for December. If tips or suggestions were generated , then what!!?? My question would be, what will it take to move forward with trying to locate his remains for comparison to others? Has there been a search done ? What happens if a family member comes forward stating they think he is there relative? Im sure Hurricane Katrina hindered this case, but im not sure what the next step is with our suggestions....

Has anyone mentioned the fact that he hung himself with a bed sheet? I feel like that implies that he lived close by.
