I submitted this John Doe as a possible match to MP Richard E. Watchermpino. Does anyone else see a resemblance, too? Especially the nose shape and mouth?

I do see some similarities. I assume they will compare the dental records for this Doe with Richard and rule him out or not like they did with the other Doe mentioned in Richard's thread. It's interesting someone estimated to be young would have complicated dental work on his upper teeth. Whoever he was, he certainly was a flashy dresser, I think, based on the description of his clothing and then his jewelry. As for Richard, it would be interesting to know more about the circumstances of his disappearence.

I wonder if the "complex dental prosthesis" was some sort of grills and not an actual prosthesis to fill in missing teeth?

MOO JMO

Looks like a good match to me! I was hoping for a yearbook photo that showed more of his teeth or any jewelry he might have worn but I didn’t find one. His hands are covered or in his pockets in most of them.

It does look more like a cosmetic type piece rather than a denture.

Good find!

Quoting myself for context.

I just heard back from NamUs and, their staff is going to "review the submitted information".
