Please add to this discussion. I think this unidentified man could be from anywhere. He is likely a white male between ages 27 - 48 years old.

William Mullen seems like a good candidate. He's only a inch shorter and has brown hair too. Mullen weighs 30 pounds more than the John Doe, but it could be decomposition on the decedent that's responsible for this difference. He went missing just 45 minutes away from where the body was found.

Are you able to see if there are any rule-outs in NamUs yet?

I noticed that Erik B. Isoldi #MP81625, who was last contacted at Stevens Pass Ski Resort, WA January 1, 2021, bears a lot of simularity to the artists interpretation of the remains. That said, he is several inches shorter, but falls within the age range, has the distinctive nose and the picuture of him shows what could be the 'short beard' found on our John Doe. Isoldi was reportedly "told his roommate that he was moving to the gold Bar area and that he would be back in a few weeks to collect the remainder of his belongings."

"Chelan County officials say that Isoldi purchased a motorhome to move into, but never returned to the area to take possession of his RV."

There have yet to be any comparisons made, and the height discrepancy is a fairly big factor in these two cases not being related.

I think this is a possibility. We have seen cases before with a 4 or 5-inch difference between someone's reported height and the measured height. I don't have time now to really compare details, but maybe someone could submit this? It's worth a try.

MP90690 Yuri Michael Karapetyan was last known to be in Los Angeles, CA on 4/6/2022. He was 40 years old with a listed height of 5'7" and weight of 130lbs with brown eyes and brown hair and may have had a beard. Precisely matching the UID. Further, they share the same long, prominent nose, thin lips, broad chin, and hairline:

I think they’re also implying our Doe fell from the observation deck 100 ft up. They may have recovered the whole decomposing body, but he definitely had whole body fractures and breaks that could make true height difficult to establish.

The profile photo compared to the sketch… yes, this does look strikingly similar to our Doe. @beavt , have you reported?

 

[atomicsciencegal]

Report both Erik B. Isoldi #MP81625 and MP90690 Yuri Michael Karapetyan, @beavt and @hapka77 . They both look like reasonable people to suggest. Maybe some interest in our Doe can get things moving for him.

No.

No.

Would you like to report it? If that is uncomfortable, I do believe we have quite a few mods and angel posters that are happy to assist you with this, or that will do it for you on behalf of this Doe.
