I think the image is dead.
However, here is a link to the flyer which contains the sculpture by Frank Bender/other renditions.
Agree. Immediate thought was “mob hit”.Seems to me perhaps he might have been involved in some kind of illegal activity. Having his teeth knocked out, but then replaced with a "high quality" partial, the expensive clothes, etc. Sounds almost like mob/drug/something. Getting teeth knocked out and then years later getting shot in the head sounds like you're associating with the wrong type of people. As much as I hate to speak ill of the dead and unidentified, I wonder if that's why he's remained an UID. Fear of making a missing persons report?
Wow, distinctive looking. Looks early 30’s to me.Also here is the computer generated image created by the Pennsylvania State Police.
So that sculpture looks vastly different from the computer generated image. Much older, but very italiano!I think the image is dead.

Run his DNA against Ancestry and get a familial match. Most likely from New York is my wild card guess.

I remember seeing this guy profiled on AMW and almost falling off my chair because of the resemblance to the recon(s). Joseph Quartieri was only 5'3" so probably not him but I called it in to PSP anyway. As I recall, when I called, it was a new investigator on Turkeyfoot JD's case and I never heard back. These days, Quartieri is no longer on the US Marshall's list of fugitives. I also couldn't find him in federal inmate locator or any obits for him so it's anyone's guess what his status is today.
Nassau jailbreaker still wanted 30 years later
Now I'm second guessing myself. When you read this article about some of the methods used in Mob disposal (shivers), it doesn't quite line up with this Doe.
Sometimes, Mob Victims Have Plenty of Company
If they didn't want him found, it seems he would have been disposed of more like what is mentioned in the article I linked. If they didn't want him identified, they would have taken steps to insure that. If they wanted to leave him to be found as a warning to others, he wouldn't have been left in such a remote location.
So as I type and think aloud, this seems much more amateur. Could have even been a prostitution/robbery scenario with fatal consequences. I would be interested in knowing what large conferences were within an hourish distance during the estimated time frame. It could possibly lead us to something, even though that's a long shot.
That's what comes to mind after dwelling a bit more.
As always, just an amateur speculation and opinion.
Personally, I don't see the resemblance as the UID's face appears longer and he appears taller. But that could just be me.
When did you call this in if I can ask?
Yes, UID was taller - by a good 5 inches. That's why I thought probably not. I called it in back in 2008.
Do you have a photo of David Stuart? I read the background and he certainly sounds like a candidate. Keeee-ripes. Scary stuff. If I were to stereotype, then recon doesn't look like a "Stuart", but of course we know we can take strongly after one side of the family or another. Given the snazzy clothes, it does kinda align with the garment biz theory.I was looking at a list of mafia member outcomes from the early 1990s, do you think it could be David Stuart?

Or even more far fetched Steven Aiello even though there is no resemblance to the reconstructions.

I would be interested if anyone could fit a picture of David Stuart. He kind of fits the description-problems/associations with organized crime, wealthy etc.

Opinion and speculation only
I'll keep digging and see if I can find a pic...No, I don't-I found a few articles about him stating that he was missing but no photo of Stuart. I guess I could contact NY LE during the week to see if they have one.
Given what you said though-the time frame(Fall 94-Summer 95) also aligns with his disappearance. Somerset PA is also within a 4-5 hour drive from NYC too.
