*Curious about the results:

There was an empty bottle of isopropyl alcohol near the body. He was wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans and white socks. He was 5 feet, 6 inches tall.
* edited as I missed it above that he was excluded

Digging further on this - it would be VERY interesting if it was him. He went missing from California. He lived a life that could have included broken bones as the unidentified had. And the unidentified had a shirt from CA. Richard Patrick McCarthy typically had a mustache but if he was trying to lay low, he may have shaved it.

He went missing mid October of 1990, and was possibly involved with a family that was murdered.

The brown shirt was likely a company shirt.

I found a company that used to be known as like Mayflower moving company. It is now known as:

Wald Relocation Services LTD​

Thomas Michael Poirier,​

Disappeared from New Hampshire in 1987, however is believed to have traveled to either New York, California or Florida, so the chances of him having ended up in Tennessee at some point isn’t Implausible. He has matching information physical wise, although there is very little information on his life/lifestyle or photos of him to really look into any similarities further.
