I thought I would start a thread on this young guy as I came across an article on the case which has a sketch that neither NAMUS or Doe Network has and some more in-depth details that either of those sites have which someone might be able to link to something, for example they have narrowed it down to a man in his 20s and included initials which might be of interest.

Some more detailed info from today's article -
He was in his 20s, 5 feet 9 inches tall and believed to be white or Hispanic. He weighed 147 pounds at the time of his death; however, stretch marks led police to believe he had lost a "significant" amount of weight.
He had brown hair, brown eyes and a moustache and goatee. He wore a blue denim cap with a short bill; a "LeChevron Collection" jacket; a long-sleeved, navy blue "Sigallo" sweater with a gray collar; prescription eyeglasses; blue jeans; and royal blue Adidas tennis shoes with yellow stripes, size 9.
Inside the shoes, the letters "HS" are scrawled in ink, though police are not sure whether those are the man's initials.
An autopsy revealed his appendix had been removed. He had a partial denture plate on his front upper incisors, and his upper four front teeth were false. A pack of Salem cigarettes and a lighter found next to his body suggested he was a smoker.
Also found next to him was a Burger King cup that detectives traced to a fast-food joint inside the old Greyhound bus station, then at 7th and L streets. Employees remembered selling the man the drink about 8 p.m. the night of his death.
