Marvin seems like a good potential match to this UID. His pic lacks fine detail but overall I find there is a strong resemblance to the UID's pics. Perhaps he made his way to Ohio where he spent a year or so before his murder? Moo

Gregory's ears and the v-shape of his mustache under his nose caught my attention. Timeline is off by a couple years so maybe he left D.C. and at some point ended up in Ohio. The height is off by 3" and weight by 2 pounds. The profile says Gregory's eyes are hazel/gray but, to me, those are some dark looking eyes in his photo.

I don't think I submitted Marvin. I didn't receive any feedback so I thought I was off my rocker in thinking he might be a match. Feel free to submit if you'd like.

 

[Aurora90]

I submitted the tip!

 

[YaYa_521]

I submitted the tip!

Great! TY for submitting.

Created this website before discovering this thread. Modern Google seems to be good at withholding useful information. I've emailed the Medical Examiner, hopefully they can give me something but I'm prepared to be disappointed.

The site isn't anything crazy, I was just hoping to create a starting point for other people who were looking this guy up.
