Interesting case added to NAMUS. The man is specifically identified as being Pasifika/Indigenous Pacific Islander. I wonder if they've done some sort of DNA analysis on him.

The timeline doesn't entirely match, but I do wonder if this could be Clayton Onosaki.

A (fairly graphic) PM image was added to his profile today (2-28-23)

I can see the resemblance in the mouth and in the nose, I'd say it's worth a submit.

Wondering how the ME's determined he was Pacific Islander.

this is a good suggestion. the disappearance date is 7/1/78 and a lot of times they put the first of a month (or year) when the reporting party doesnt exactly remember the date or it was reported later. maybe they reported this much later than the decedents suicide.

I did look for an article on this young man. I was not able to find one, which was particularly interesting to me because just a couple of days later a young female was witnessed jumping from the bridge. She was identified and an article written. I would have thought perhaps there would have been a mention of his case given the timing, etc.
