Bumping case up. Still in NamUs. Any additional rule-outs?

Per NamUs, additional bones were located:
The skull was found 1 mile southwest of FR #87, near Dry Lake. [Reporting party] stated that no other bones were readily visible in the immediate area. No articles of clothing were found. Other bones were found within 1/4 mile of the site by Off. Martinez on 9/196 and 9/7.

I'm going to mention this case on the Othram thread...

I wonder if authorities were able to determine whether this is a likely homicide or suicide based on the position of the gunshot wound -- if suicide, how did he get out there? Were there any reports of abandoned cars in the area?
