Bumping.

Could it be Royce Wilson?

Physical feature: I'm suggesting Royce because he had a "pin" in his right leg, but I don't see any mention of it causing a scar. He could have hid the scar for all we know.
Age: 36, so he might be a longshot
DLC: November 1, 1969
Missing from: Iverness, Florida
