NJ NJ - Shamong, WhtMale 60-69, UP1515, gold Caravelle watch, outdated clothes, loafers, Dec'79

[YaYa_521]

Donald Butler tends to resemble JD's composite, imo. I especially noticed the likeness in the ears, forehead, and tip of his nose. I know circumstantially this shouldn't be a positive match, but Donald has never been located. I've thought of a couple of theories that could explain him turning up dead in NJ after a car accident in ID but out of respect I'll keep that to myself for now. MOO

Is there anyway to find out where in Shamong? My mother lives there. So many trails in the woods large enough for a car
