I noticed this UID has another thread here. Could the two be combined? http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?292138-OR-Portland-Multnomah-County-WhtMale-2658UMOR-20-35-extremely-tall-May-95

I wish that we had more information about Larry Shane Kelley, even if his coloring isn't a consistent with this UID or the other very tall balding UID in Lakewood, CA (www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?217675-CA-Lakewood-WhtMale-UP3990-25-35-Shot-by-Armored-Car-Employee-Mar-89). The missing person doesn't appear to be in NamUs, the Doe Network, or the Charley Project. Even though "Douglas Baker" doesn't appear to be balding, I wonder if Larry Kelley is a possible match? http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?80930-NV-Las-Vegas-WhtMale-%28UP8137%29-25-35-Alias-quot-Douglas-Baker-quot-from-Orlando-Feb-87
 
Hi, first time posting on websleuths so I apologise for any errors. This case has been bugging me ever since I stumbled across an image of a John Doe who was found in a Multnomah County river in 1995. Being 6"6 tall, I easily found the only missing person from Multnomah who was that height: Curtis Neal Harvey. They look pretty similar in my opinion.

Curtis' NamUs Profile: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
John Doe on IG: (NSFW picture of decedent, be warned) Login • Instagram

Similarities between the two:
  • Height
  • Age range
  • Both wearing black Levi Jeans
  • Eyes (hazel/brown)
  • Hair colour
Differences/Issues:
  • Curtis had a prosthetic ear. Not mentioned on John Doe.
  • Curtis had a tattoo on his right shoulder of Yosemite Sam.
  • Curtis had scars on his hips.
  • Where was Curtis for two years? The body of John Doe had only been deceased hours prior to it's discovery.
A tip was sent to the authorities in May but I have not received a response.
 
Definitely looks like it could be the same person, given what little there is to go by. Would be hard to tell from the morgue photo whether one is a prosthetic ear.

I guess I'd send the information to the Multnomah County Coroner and not just to the Sheriff. You should also make a thread here:

The Unidentified

and there are helpful people here on WS who hang out here:

Missing Persons Resources

You could post a general question on that last forum, I bet people would know more about what to do that I do,

Missing Person Case (namus.gov)

The height is off by a couple inches. Hazel eyes can look both green and brown. There is definitely some distance between where he's from and where the UID was found but...Eric was last seen in 1992. The look similar to me. Just throwing it out. So many missing people and so many NamUs accounts with barely any information.

There is more information about Eric H. at the Doe Network, and if it's accurate, it rules him out. But thank you for taking a look at this case. 5460DMIN - Eric Joseph Humbert
 
Humor me, and take a look at Bennett Wall, please:

Columbia River flows westward near Portland.

Do we know the possible circumstances? If it was a suicide he may have unfortunately gone off one of the bridges in Portland. If he entered the water earlier it could be possible he was from Washington.
 
I also wanted to add - Portland started getting a higher transit population in the 90's as people from neighboring states started seeking social programs that may have not been available to them. I know people who came as far as the midwest, even the east coast simply because winters on the west coast were more survivable if you were unhoused. He may not have been from the area.
 
I'm not sure if his tooth was gapped or if that happened post mortem, but he looks like an older version of Warren David Hawkins (MP91604) to me. He would have been about 30 in 1995, so in this UP's estimated age range.

He was last seen in July of 1986 in Kelso, WA so very nearby. It's about under an hr drive.

However, Warren isn't listed nearly as tall (6'2") and there's the matter of time between.
