Very strange that in 2022 David Sampson was added to the list of rule outs to this John Doe, but now he is not on there. I went to David's NamUs profile and the John Doe is not listed either.This John Doe's NamUs profile was modified today, 5/10/22
He currently has 14 rule outs

I think so too. Because of changes to the body and face postmortem it’s really hard to get it right. Sometimes someone can look completely different dead, even with retouching and all. Good reconView attachment 340056
Quick recon of Ashland Doe. I think this more accurately reflects his appearance than the PM photo on NAMUS.
