Any news reports for reference?

I searched & had no luck. Maybe someone with a newspapers.com subscription will have more luck. I'd like to know how they determined he was Native American.

Here is a Missing Person whose profile I just read. IMO he's probably not this UID; their reported heights don't match. But I'm mentioning just in case, because this MP has links to TN.
