Mr. Kobeski currently doesn't have any DNA comparisons/rule-outs, however I found NamUs #UP9734 / 3531UMPA within a 46-min geographic range. The age range matches, as does the distinctive hairline from the phenotyping image, light complexion and alleged reddish-brown hair.

NamUs #UP9734 currently has two rule-outs, but neither are Mr. Kobeski.

Additionally, the remains are alleged to have been PM for about two months, matching the timeline when Mr. Kobeski left his residence on foot and was reportedly last seen.

Here's the strongest factor that's pulling me in this direction: the UID did have a surgical scar.

Thoughts anyone?
