This case is as cold as the circumstances! So, since it's been over 8 years since Mr. Heitman was last seen alive, I ASSUME he's most likely deceased. His remains could be scattered between Columbia MO and Pulaski County, MO. Going to try NAMUS to see if he's listed there and see if there might be any DOE's that could be Mr. Heitman. My ex-father-in law was a Marine. I appreciate their service.
