Could the Mecklenburg John Doe be Tristan Turner? The Doe was found in in 2008 but the PMI was estimated to be about 2005. Not much to go on but the time is good. He told his family he was going to Baltimore, about an hour from his home. Maybe he made a trip six hours south down south and got in trouble with some bad people. The unidentified man was found in a remote area behind the Charlotte airport. The DNA Doe Project is researching now, so we may know soon. Mecklenburg John Doe 2008 - DNA Doe Project Cases

I looked at the Mecklenburg Doe's DNA. It shows he's mostly AmerIndinan. I don't know Tristan's DNA story but, he doesn't look like that profile would fit him.

Yes, I recently saw that too. That probably rules Tristan out. How about Jose Espinoza, missing from Charlotte, NC since 2003? He has no rule outs on Namus. This makes more sense DNA wise and a lot more sense as far as circumstances.

Oh gosh I apologize, i registered at work and did not read the terms. I should've! That was my stupid mistake. Thank you for deleting it. <modsnip> He left the morning of 08/20 and never came back. We are still puzzled as of where he went.

Its so odd to see this mugshot, as far as i knew he only got into trouble in MD. if he was in TX after the disappearance date, then this will give us some peace of mind. I hope he is OK and alive, living elsewhere.

I looked him up based on the mugshot and found two cases from Harris County, TX. They're from 2003 and 2004. A Maryland state case search gives a 2006 incident with his name and LKA in Montgomery Village. This might just be a case of someone not wanting to be found.

A Google Search shows someone using that name with about the same age living in Maryland right now with a Harris County, TX phone number. I'm hesitant to believe it's that simple of a find, but hey...maybe it is.
