Judson Lee Fielding may be a match to these remains, imo. Interestingly, he's missing under suspicious circumstances including a murder-for-hire case. It's a bit complicated for me to briefly explain so please read the info on his profiles. Basically he lived with his mom but went to visit his children which was the last time he was seen alive. He had been involved with some drug activity and had served prison time but was reportedly trying to get his life in order. He had also mentioned that he was afraid someone was trying to kill him because he had testified in a grand jury hearing and was set to testify in court during an upcoming trial. After reading through the info I think it's reasonable to assume he could have been killed and his body disposed of or he could have voluntarily left in an effort to hide from the threats he had mentioned to family.

Judson's height and weight ranges fall within the estimated ranges for this John Doe. His was 40 YO in 1994 which puts him well into the age range estimate for JD. Besides the matching stats, 2-hour distance between Jonesboro and Augusta, GA, and the similarities b/w JD's composite and Judson's pic I found it intriguing that JD was found with a duffel bag and an American flag. Judson was a USMC veteran which could explain the flag found near his remains. I wish there was a way to find out from his family whether he had a duffel bag along with a flag. Also, I'd like to know whether Judson had gold crowns on his teeth. His photo appears to have something going on with his upper right front tooth but maybe that's just a photo mark or some other discoloration on his teeth.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
