Cross-referencing to Kevin Murray's case added to Namus yesterday www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/ca-kevin-murray-18-san-francisco-june-17-1979.536224/

I wonder if he has been compared to www.namus.gov/UnidentifiedPersons/Case#/5860?nav

Randy Doran was added to NAMUS recently, and very strongly reminds me of this doe. He has no listed tattoos, but it's possible that family members weren't aware of any.

He’s got a Facebook page that I happened to find. It tells a lot more about him and his disappearance. After reading some of the stuff on there, I think it’s probably not him. He’s described there as being above average as far as weight goes and has a strong muscular build. So, 110 lbs. doesn’t seem to fit that. Although, I really wish there was even a rough PMI listed for the UID...110 lbs. is extremely thin for anyone that tall. It states that he had no tattoos at the time of his disappearance. He could have gotten those since his family last saw him. Again, that’s where a PMI would be nice to have.

I couldn’t think of what “Andy” could be since it says that was just a part of a name. Randy makes perfect sense. I don’t think it’d hurt to submit.

He was unclothed and had been shot in the chest 3 times. They estimated he’d been buried there for several weeks.

EXCITING! Can anyone see any missing persons pages that went down too? Or know of any new news articles related to the case?

No public MP profile that could be a match was removed recently. I checked the profiles for men who went missing before 1980 and I only found 3 that were removed in the past 7 months, and I don’t think any of them could match.

I attached the list, not sure if it’s big enough to be legible. All of them have threads on WS.
