When I was looking for a match to this UID The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) - I found James, I looked and saw James didn't have a thread on here, so I started one.

The UID was found June 17, 1993 floating in the New York Harbor in NY NY.
James went missing from Ohio on May 14, 1993

The UID was thought to be under 50 he was measured as being 5'11 and 230lbs
James was 45 years old he was listed as being 5'11 and 220 lbs.

This UID is not on James's rule out list - the UID has no rule outs.

What do you think?

The UID I turned in from NY as a possible match to James has been ruled out. I really thought this could be him.
