I am hoping they are able to find the maxilla and mandible. They might be able to get a DNA sample if they did right?

Mark Shaw Jennings matches a lot of this...but UID est age is 20-30 and he was 34 went he went missing. He went missing from WA, all other stats look good.

No DNA possible? Seriously? That explains the lack of rule outs then I hope they find out the maxilla and mandible weren't cremated too. Also, why no recon/clothing pics? Surely they took pictures?

Namus shows this case was recently updated. Can anyone see if Mr Jennings mentioned above was r/o. Although they don't have DNA presumably they have dentals.
