Cold Case: Brewster Body With New Rochelle Link

The New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation continue to seek the public's assistance to help solve a cold case involving an unidentified dead man. While the body was found in Putnam County, the only lead the police have is connected to New Rochelle

The body was found in a wooded area next to the Garden Street School in Brewster on Oct. 9, 1995. The death was ruled a suicide due to self-inflicted wounds found on his wrists.

The investigation to date revealed the deceased was last seen making a purchase of two expensive blankets at a curtain shop in New Rochelle, NY, on Oct. 7, 1995. It is believed he traveled to Brewster from the lower Westchester County area via Metro-North Railroad.

Stumbled across this and I'm not sure whether it's a good lead or not: Jeffrey Dash of Stamford, CT is a black male who went missing in 1993. His car was found in New Rochelle with bloodstains over the interior.

Timeline could be explained that he tried to kill himself and failed, then spent the intervening time in New Rochelle.

He's the same height, quite a bit heavier but could have lost weight. The big problem is he's WAY too young, only about 26 when the UID was found. However, he already has a receding hairline. Fair resemblance facially (click to enlarge). The photo is very bad quality though.

Is there enough to be worth pursuing?

Thanks for trying, carbuff, but I don't see any resemblance. Too many things that are off, IMO. Plus, Jeffrey had a scar on his right hand and there is no mention of the UID having a scar like that. JMO.
 
Throwing this out there...

He strikes me as looking like he's from the Caribbean. Is it possible that he is an immigrant from the Mariel boat lift in 1980, when thousands of immigrants from Cuba and Haiti were granted asylum?

His whole outfit, the dockers, tan pants, check shirts being worn in upstate NY in October just speaks Miami/South Florida to me. His crucifix also tells me that he's more than likely Catholic.

Also, if he's been robbed of money before, it makes sense to carry cash in several pockets. That way you'll never lose it all, if someone tells you to hand it over.

Just wanted to add that this UID's armpits were cleanly shaved, which is a cultural thing, and a rarity among American men.

It might be a good idea to show his picture in local churches and catholic communities based in NY on facebook. He more than likely went to church somewhere. Maybe someone will recognize. Does anyone know of any such communities on facebook?
 
Who is it? Please include a link to the MP. Thanks. :)
Sorry I just wanted a second opinion on his face before I made a comparison. The mole looks to be a few mm's away from eachother.
