How were they able to positively identify him as male? Was it a pelvis?

I’m surprised a single bone has an exclusion. That’s amazing IMO.

Probably have DNA.

Probably. Didn’t see any info on the DNA.

Curiously, Kenneth has been ruled out on just about every NJ UID even ones who couldn't possibly be him. Idk if it's a mistake or what.

Makes me wonder who this Kenneth guy is to be honest. That’s so odd. Is he only listed as an exclusion on male UIDs?

Only on males I think but he was 46 and has been ruled out for some child/teenage does and just people who are way out of age range. I keep wondering why bc a lot of NJ UIDs have just him listed as the one exclusion, why aren't they testing against others?

Would also like to mention

Is also a bone of a young male, found weeks after this one in Atlantic. Maybe same person.

That’s so weird! I mean, obviously you rule him out on those ones. And about the other bone: it could be him (the UID who this thread topic bone belongs to) or it could be another man. This other bone was said to belong to an 18-35 year old man, not 18-25, meaning he could be older. Also they weren’t sure on his race.

Definitely strange that Kenneth is ruled out on so many.
