No photo unfortunately.

Nothing in newspapers (that I could find). Anyone know anything about either of the schools? Surely he attended one or both of them.

Cant find anything about a Boston Mackey University. The Jamaican Commercial Institute is a "business college" in Montego Bay.

The way it's written implies to me that 'Mackey' is his last name.

Charles E. Mackey school in Roxbury, MA - there's a good possibility that his info is in this file:

Not a university according to this - dates fit in

Only thing I am finding support finds above, Mackey School (sometimes referenced as Charles E. Mackey School) in the South End of Boston - most of what I am seeing references it as a middle school.

Namus case file says his face is recognizable. Someone should be able to get on this and do some type of reconstruction or something.

If a picture is ever released, I would be willing to create a reconstruction.

I imagine they might not have it on file anymore.
