Odd is that he had his socks and shoes on but all other clothes were found near the body.

What about this John Doe for Michael? The UP has quite an interesting story filled with good information leading up to his tragic death, but none that has lead to his identity. I found Michael as a potential match while browsing others to match this John Doe. Interested to hear what others think…

PS: I’m also attaching some old newspaper clippings about the John Doe that relay some more information that may be helpful in identifying him to Michael or otherwise.

This Doe is actually what brought me here to Michael's page. they have very similar features, they both have strawberry curly hair. The heights are a bit off, and hazel VS blue eyes. but the pictures we have of Michael are from seven years before the Doe's pictures. Might be worth a tip, that would be enough time for him to grow out his hair and get tattoos
