Found one missing MIT student, 22-year-old Zachary Weston, lost at Mount Rainer National Park in 2005 and body never found; nothing about him seems to fit this UID. Could not find anything on missing MIT professors or alumni.

Farm Aid was held at the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park, IL, on September 18, 2005.

I don't know much about medical procedures; are the clips likely from gallbladder surgery?

I remember when this case was in the news. Considerable astonishment that nobody knew who he was.

Surgical clips are common with gallbadder removal and the "upper right abdomen" would be consistent with a gallbladder removal. They don't mention any missing organs in the NamUs file though. I guess it could have been omitted on NamUs but they usually include information like that because it can be so helpful in ID.

Still permission error, so I presume he's been identified.
