Off topic, but that is a wicked awesome design.

Agreed. They seems to be quite trendy and popular not just with teens but older generation too.
They have fun page too where their buyers can post pic of themselves wearing shirts they bought for a chance to win extra shirts. I am sure many are posting there just to pose :). Nevertheless I have spend last few hours browsing those pics just in case Brooklyn Boy with white raven might have been in between them, and yes there are many interesting designs there.

I asked on the designers website how long the design has been available as I wondered how new it was, I got a fast reply-

"Hey,*White Raven has been available since*Spring 2015 or so.*Red*Bubble and*
Society 6 first; then*Tee Public and Design by Humans."

Poor guy. He really did have a cool shirt!
He strikes me as a college student, specifically an art student. You'd think someone would remember this shirt. Unless this kid had MANY interesting T-shirts, then maybe not.

I wonder if anyone had a room mate who just never came back for Spring semester. Where'd they even report that to?

 
My research partner had a great conversation last week with the medical examiner on this case. We had found several pieces of evidence pointing to errors in the namus profile of Kourtenay Davis and felt he might be a viable lead with the correct information. He is listed as 6'2" but multiple news sources and missing person posters state him as 5'6", the exact height of the UID. He went missing on the same day the UID died. Other inconsistencies include his middle name being listed as Keefe but called "Keele" at one point in the namus profile. He is also listed as having two tattoos on his right arm but none were found on the pictures of him. I contacted the NAMUS rep for his case last week with an inquiry about rechecking the data in his report.

Unfortunately, Kourtenay's DNA does not match the UID and he was listed as an exclusion last Friday.

Also I have spoken with the artist "Qetza". He is very sorry to hear of this. In regards to sales of the design, he does not have access to any data which could help in the search.

I don't know what business Raheem would've had in Brooklyn, but he sure does favor JD, imo. Proportionally, everything just seems to fit. I see it in the composite but even more so when I compare his pic with the PM photo. I wonder if he headed to NY after leaving Little Rock?

I see resemblance also. I think someone who feels comfortable doing so should call or email this possibility in.

ETA: I decided to create a thread for Raheem:

I’ve been able to get photos of the building descended from. Very high up with a short railing along the top. Is it possible he was sketching the skyline and may have fallen prior?

This area isn’t some place you just “happen” to find. There has to be some sort of connection to this area. Wondering if anyone would remember seeing him/know of him and just not willing to divulge information.

This one is sticking with me. I too wonder about the lack of a phone that might of made it easier to id him. From the nameus profile the earbud where listed as an accessory not as content of the back pack? So they were his for sure? The charger and stuff was listed as inside the backpack was assumes to be his? The zip hoodie, scarf and double socks make it seems like he was ready to be outside. He was found around 10pm on a Friday night in January it must of been pretty dark and cold. They guessed 18-30. I wonder if he might of been a little younger? I've been looking at missing persons with no luck. I did notice in PM pic the hairline is not straight like the recon sketch. PM pic shows a bit more of a curvey hairline and a little widowspeak.
