isn't Flowers a tad too tall for this UID? last we knew the deceased was about 5'5" and Flowers was said to be 6'1".

Perhaps. I was thinking that all they found was a skull because Post #1 says height unknown. But looking back at Post #1 it also says "Near complete Skeleton", and they now have a height listed in the NamUs casefile.

Looks like the Virginia ME released yet another reconstructions.

Just to be clear, this reconstructions is with for the MALE found on 4/07/92 where skeletal remains were recovered adjacent to a warehouse at 231 Enterprise drive in Newport News, Virginia. The remains were believed to be an adult male, 35-50 years of age.

A few false starts on this one before LE confirmed the remains were male. Namus also now has an update on heritage (Caucasian & African) as well as PMI (6mth - 2yr) The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Only adding this because the previous person who posted the recon had their image break.

Interestingly for VA, there are no ruleouts listed. Usually their UID have been compared to as many MPs as possible across the country.

It turns out that this is not a woman, it was a man. Dippy pointed it out earlier, but I didn't notice.

Is there any chance this john doe might be Corey Delano Johnson

The teeth and nostrils make me wonder this. It looks like one of the nostrils is wider than the other on both the john doe and corey. The height also matches. I know the age is wrong, but it has known to be wrong in the past by a large margin before.
