No ruleouts in Namus.

Thoughts on Raymond Snow recently uploaded photo in Namus seems to show a reddish beard and long grey hair.

Or Thomas Alton Martin who was homeless in Millington TN in December 2012; he had regular contact with his family despite being without a home. But could he have suffered a deterioration in mental health that saw him decide to move and cease contact? His photo in namus shows him with greying hair (would have greyed more between 2012-16) and a red moustache. www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/82976?nav
