I was worried this could be Michael Andres, missing from Beaver County, but the UID's weight and height are considerably greater.

I agree about the weight and height. The UID also looks a lot older than Micahel Andres.

The UID was dressed in name brand clothing also, ( Van Heusen shirt, Claiborne jacket etc) so I am not thinking he was homeless unless he got the name brand clothing from goodwill or salvation army...

The UID has been identified as Harry Patterson, 58, of O'hara Township

Rest in Peace, Harry.

Chaddylex, I noticed that as well; the clothing description made it clear this was someone who was nicely dressed. The grayish-green coat got my attention because our county's MP was last seen wearing one, although his is described as a military-style jacket. *Holding out hopes for his safe return home.*
