How about Ruben Ramirez from Fort Worth, TX? He is about the right height, weight, and age. His photo isn't very clear, but looks similar to the reconstruction (facial shape, nose, and the features that are "sort of" visible).

Ran across this unknown man found March 16,1990 on a TX beach. Could this be Ruben?

Sure could be! I would submit it and see if he's been ruled out.

The height is a little off, but the location/race/age is just right. It says "weapon found at scene". Does anyone know if the death was a homicide or not? There's pretty much nothing on this case out there :v

TXDPS has John Galvan as Height: 5 ft. 07 in. Weight: 110 lb. 1inch closer to UID. I see a good resemblence. Curiously, I could not find him on NamUs.

From what I can discern the cause of death is unknown. The weapon was just found near the body.

I've submitted Rubin Ramirez and David Galvan to UT North Texas Contact.

Checking in on Mustang Doe. His picture and the sketch of his jewelry are still not on NamUs. No DNA or Dentals available on NamUs.

The possibilities are still missing. Ruben Ramirez and Marti Shawn Hetzell have DNA complete. David Joseph Galvan still not on NamUs, but on other missing persons sites such as NCMEC. No surprise I got no answer from TXDPS Missing Persons Clearinghouse.

Who are you Mustang Doe?

Bump my boys

 

[Melt71]

www.namus.gov/UnidentifiedPersons/Case#/3976 still UID and now with an age range 17-25, race either Cauc or Hisp. He had brown hair and was slightly built, though I don't think the recon really shows his petite build. I'm not familiar with the medallion, perhaps others can input?

The silver medallion that JD had with him appears to be Italian, made in Italy.

Maybe a tourist visiting from Italy or of Italian descent and recently moved to the U.S. just a thought.

San Benito Medal St Saint Benedict Large Antiqued Silver Tone Medalla.

View attachment 604528

It is a Catholic protection amulet, called Benedict’s penny and supposed to protect the wearer against misfortune and sudden death without confession. It was in different shapes most popular in the 18th century but I guess it survived in very Catholic regions in Italy, Latin America, Spain etc.
