NamUs has this case marked as low-medium identification potential but I think the tattoos should help identify him. The Ohio River flows west and his body was in the water for up to 2 months so who knows - body may have come from anywhere upstream and could have entered the water from either Kentucky or Indiana. I'm stuck on this case - I feel like he should be pretty easy to identify.

I can't find any updates for tgis case. The tats should definately help ID this man. Has anyone heard any new info on this case?

According to the Gallatin County Coroner's Office facebook, he was identified as "John Jenkins 43 of Huntinton WV who had gone missing in mid December 2017"
