Does anyone know if David had worn braces prior to going missing?

David had some dental work done by the Air Force when stationed in England, but no mention of him wearing tooth braces.

He had been on limited duty and going to medical appointments for a condition of some sort for a few weeks prior to going missing. In fact, he was supposed to go to a doctor appointment on base, which he failed to show for on 10 December 1984.

I know that David's case has been compared with at least 3 John Doe cases without a match.

Does anyone have a list of "rule outs"?

At one time, his mother and sister offered to donate DNA samples, but do not know if the Air Force investigators took them up on it.

David has remained on the Air Force list as a deserter since about 10 January 1985, at which time he had been missing for 30 days.
