Jimmy Jackson (no photos) missing from Georgia in 2015 was last seen wearing Nike shoes and a Gucci belt. He had close cropped hair.

The estimated height does not match and he was 34 at the time but may be a possibility to have reviewed. The distance is quite far from Durham to Albany, about an 8 hour drive.

I would think this decedent passed fairly recently considering he was found with wireless earbuds. In my experience, wireless earbuds only started becoming somewhat common in 2018 and then exploded in 2019 with the second gen AirPods and many phones ditching the headphone jack around that time.

Maybe Damar Lumpkin? Looked at his FB and he has his ears pierced, plus there's a pic of him wearing what I believe to be a Gucci belt on one of his profiles.

Very good point. That‘s an important detail.
