Someone must recognize this man, he has a very distinctive look. Long red brown beard and ponytail, mustache, balding on top (none of the descriptions say he's balding but judging from the drawing it would seem so.)

The victim was located by hikers floating in Sespe Creek, northwest of Fillmore in the Los Padres National Forest. The body was intact with clothing present.
 
Rule-outs:
Michael Stephenson
James Bradford

It says he was found wearing the glasses--I'm surprised he hasn't been sketched with them on? The clothes seem like those of a casual hiker, not necessarily someone who was living rough, etc. I couldn't find specific info about the weather in 2001, but the average low/high is described as 41/69 deg F, which is consistent with his clothing. Some info about Sepse Creek, where he was found.
 
6'4, 248 lbs, with glasses, long red-brown hair and a big beard. This guy would stand out in a crowd - he should have been identified by now!

His NamUs page was updated recently but I can't see what was changed.
