Ask me how to get your loved one in NamUs
Want to leave what I wrote here so that anyone coming in from google can see the info. apearn has done a lot of work on his custom tattoo. I added his possible years of birth along with his possible years of service for someone not knowing the case. They may see when he was killed but it may not register what years he was born or served. I sent Doe net an update today with his NamUs dentals/ prints plus case worker.
USMC 1st force Recon John Doe is an African American male, between the ages of 20 to 30 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall and approximately 130 pounds. He had a shaved bald head and brown eyes. He died wearing a Navy t-shirt size XL, gray cutoff sweatpants, black Levi jeans size 34/30, tan or brown cloth belt, brown plaid jacket size XL, and white Fila sneakers size 8.5. He was found electrocuted on the third rail on the southbound D train tracks at the 145th St and St. Nicholas Avenue Station June 23, 1997 in Harlem NY at 12:23am, the trains run about every 12 minutes.
EXCLUSIVE DESIGN TATTOO - He had an elaborate 1st force Recon, USMC Eagle Globe Anchor (EGA) tattoo that was an exclusive design done by a tattoo shop in Twentynine Palms California between 1994 and 1996. Research by Veteran Doe shows that he could have been part of the First Force Recon stationed in the Pacific, and if so, it is likely he went to boot camp in Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and not Parris Island so his family/friends may be on the west coast. He likely spent time in Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton as 1st Force Recon and EOD were both in Camp Pendleton. Based on his age range his estimated years of birth are from 1967 to 1977. His likely dates of service would have been somewhere in the 1985-1997 years.
Other body markings show he had a smallpox vaccine which were discontinued in the US in 1972. They were not recommended for children under 1 when they were given. So if that circular mark, on the far right, is indeed a smallpox vaccine scar it is likely he was born prior to 1971. That would have made him at least 26. It has been mentioned to me that this vaccine is given prior to deployments though, so it could be related to that and not his childhood vaccinations which he would have needed if he was born after they stopped giving it which would make him at the younger end of the age range.
He was likely very recently separated from the US Marine Corps since he is not on any AWOL lists. 7Th ESB (Engineer Support Battalion), which includes EOD Company, was deployed to Iraq and Somalia. READ THE ENTRY BELOW "TWENTYNINE PALMS TATTOO CONNECTION " FOR ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT HIS TATTOO!
He has a burn mark on his nose that made Veteran doe think he may have worn glasses. It could be from sunglasses but he was found at night so the thinking is that more likely they were prescription glasses. No glasses are noted as being with his possessions but they probably did not check for any at the scene.
