I know it says he was white, but looking up 'Chicano' it seems to be a term that some Mexicans use in place of 'Mexican American' so surely there's a possibility that he was hispanic?

Yes, I would think so as well. Most definitely.

I am so happy to see Doe Net updating cases again!

I agree there is a good chance be is Hispanic.

One of Alexander's nicknames is Chicano. He is a while male whose age in 1986 (38) would have fallen in JD's age range (20-50). Also interesting, imo, is that Alex attended St. Agnes School which could explain the cross tattoo. MOO

Could HC be the man's initials?

Quoting my post to correct myself. Alex is a white Hispanic male.

Also, I plan to submit this potential match Monday. I hope the ME has or is able to get DNA from John Doe. They'll likely need to conduct DNA testing in order to do a comparison. MOO
