The algorithm censors the Latin word for “man” because it is the same as a slur for gay men. Anyway, apparently the UID was a devout Christian, possibly Roman Catholic

I just looked at the namus profile and it looks like the profile was updated and the tattoos have more info.

Tattoo
R upper arm: Tattoo of Christ head with a green crown and a red collar (possibly signaling Ecce Homo)

L upper arm: Celtic cross with rose and ribbon that say "In memory of Dad"

L forearm: Two interlocking hearts and ribbon with "Mom and Dad"

I feel like his tattoos would’ve been mentioned, especially something as prominent as a forearm tattoo, no?

The tattoo does look like the painting "ecce homo" which in Latin means "behold the man". There are also some words in Italian that are censored due to being the same as slurs. Makes sense since italian is largely based on Latin I think.

I came across this guy Luciano Catarra a while back on facebook. He is missing from Brooklyn sometime in 1988. I kept the post photos below. But there is not much info on this guy on the internet so I don’t know height weight of if he has tattoos.

I also found this but for some reason I cannot see a profile just his name and photo Luciano Catarra

He used to be Doe Network 5387DMNY (that’s the main source for the other page you found alongside a private Facebook link), but his profile from there was removed some time before December 2023, as seen in this archive. I don’t think he has ever been in NamUs (but NYC has a lot of gaps in their MPs listed there). His profile was added in 2021, but the case closure does not show up in their records at all.

Oh thank you for that info on Luciano . I wonder why he was removed. Maybe he was located?

Oh yes and Namus in NYC missing and Unidentified cases barely has anything earlier than the 1990s I have been complaining about that for years !ha!
It’s only recently that someone has been slowly uploading some older cases here and there.
