*warning for tattoo pictures on NamUs page

This body was found by railroad tracks in Wichita Falls, TX in May. He was decomposed but his arms dont look very decomposed in the pictures so I assume recently deceased.
He was between 5'10 and 6'1 and 140 to 160 pounds. He had blond hair and various tattoos. Most notable, the name 'Pauline' in a devil-tailed love heart.
His other tattoos pictured are all very detailed, they're a bit hard to work out and aren't described. The fourth one pictured is I think the last supper. Can't work out the others.

Thanks @Myrrh
I wonder if Kyler Dickerson was considered. Everything lines up and he went missing from Wichita Falls a month before WFJD was found.

The one tattoo with the star is a Star Trek logo with I believe one of the ships in front. The other two appear to be the same arm from the front and the back. It appears to me to be a flower or daisy with water in the middle and I believe a koi fish.can see it when both sides are put together.

Did you happen to submit Kyler Dickerson? His (Kyler) NamUs profile was removed in the past few hours.

I didn't submit because I think its most likely not him because of the tattoos. The JD's profile is still up.

You‘re right, I was kind of hoping JD’s profile would be removed soon after too. At least this means KD may have been located and is safe.

Are you sure? This article says he was ID'd two days after discovery. I'm not sure he'd have a NamUs for as long as he did, would he?

I am not certain, but I think it would be unusual to find two naked decomposing bodies near the railroads tracks in the same city and the media only report about one of them. I was surprised to see the date of the articles, but it wouldn’t be unheard of to have the NamUs profile taken down a long time after the identification.
