Anyone seen a ruleout list? This person is from Houston, but facial hair and height make him seem like a possibility:

Can't find NAMUS listing, but he is on Tx DPS and TX equusearch sites:

Anyone seen a ruleout list?

UID has no ruleouts on NamUs

Any thoughts on possible match with Emmanuel Perez missing one month earlier from Houston?

I think the UID's lack of tattoos rules him out.

What about Santos Ananstacio Interiano? The distance and time make it unlikely but he looks similar enough to suggest it in my opinion

I contacted missing persons center in Texas and they said family confirmed not a match.

Who wasn't a match? Emmanuel Perez?

I see the resemblance and the 5'6" height match. His sister appears to have been part of Boston Globe story about his disappearance crossing back into the US.

Cruelty adds to loss for families of missing migrants - The Boston Globe

Seems from the story he wouldn't have willfully stayed out of contact but you can never be sure.

Thanks for finding this. While I agree you can never be 100% sure, the context of how he went missing and how close his family seems makes me think it's very unlikely this is him.

I am surprised that the 5'6" isn't ruling more people out - I also see Michael Mettlen on the TX DPS site, but nowhere else. Missing out of Houston since mid-march 2021 and has gray facial hair, but not as strong a resemblance and looks older and more gray that the sketch and description - height listed at 5'6"
