Hm I thought Dr Who was known mainly in UK, not so overseas. I wonder if he came from Britain.
 
Actually Dr. Who is pretty popular here in the states.

Dr. Who has a quite a large fan-base over here in the States. It plays on the BBC America Channel on our cable TV.

Found the shirt. It's sold at a couple of places online, at least.

The shirt looks like it's in great condition, which makes me wonder if he bought it at The Great Philadelphia Comic Con, which happened April 7th thru the 9th of this year, which was just a few weeks before he died.

I know for a fact that Entertainment Earth sets up shop at numerous comic/entertainment type conventions. (San Diego Comic Con, for example.) It might be worthwhile for LE to contact Entertainment Earth and see if there are credit card records for purchases of that shirt, if they were present at the Great Philadelphia Comic Con this year.

Edit to add: I sent in this tip.
 
im wondering if he was an OD. they said surrounded by paraphernalia. poor guy. the opioid epidemic is so bad.

One of the photos shows a fair amount of blood on the fabric that the UID is photographed on. I wonder if he was wrapped in it at the time of death and had bled from an injury.
 
also possible.

they should have cropped the photos better :(

I saw one of a Hispanic male once and the face pic you could see his chest sawed open from the ongoing autopsy. :(
 
This man looks so familiar to me.. I was noticing his tattoos are old school graffiti lettering style from the late 1970's to late 80s.. he looks so so familiar
 
It says his eyes are hazel.. but there are hazel/blue and hazel/green and it says his hair is blonde but the photo looks brown..

he is under dallas most wanted.. is one ince taller than the UID and weighed a bit less.. but the UID could of tried to clean himself up and gained weight in the process.. I know that happens.. his eyes say green but look grey to me in the photo. I also noticed he has that same oink complexion the UID has. Anyway I thought I would post him here since he is being looked for..so he could of gone anywhere to hide. I wish I could find some more info on the George guy.
 
This is one of those PM photos that I am having difficulty picturing in life so bare with me if I'm way off.
Nothing that says yes but nothing that says no either. Time, height, and weight are all close. No tattoos or scars mentioned for MP though. History of MI and DV but nothing about substances. Im from Maine but not familiar with that area but guessing it's like the rest. He could have taken off and been lost to the "woods" (or lived there for years as our hermit did) or gotten a ride out and been long gone in a few hours. News mentions blood in his found vehicle, woods and water searches, but also mentioned he could have gotten a ride somewhere so sounds like anything is possible. He has 2 kids. I'd be curious to know their names. Only to know if he'd had them tattooed. (I know - reaching)
