My first thread. Because there is so little known about this UID (not on file or registered?) maybe we can be of help.

The ring is probably something like this.

I can't find this UID in GBI listings even though it gives a link at the bottom for GBI on the Doe page. Any idea why he's not in Namus?

I can't find him mentioned online past 2008. The "Cocaine User" tattoo is very odd to me? If you were into cocaine, why not just have "Cocaine" tattooed on yourself?

I really don't know why he is not in Namus. If I recall right LE has to do some administration...putting him in the system(s). All the identifiers are unknown, making me think the file is somehow incomplete or nobody is working on this case anymore. I don't know how many efforts they would make in those days for somebody "associated" with drugs....or better said didn't bother that much because of that.

Yes, that's very odd indeed. Almost like somebody else put it on him (with not such good intentions) like the torso of a woman found with "drugs" on her back...full of hatred thing to do.

 

[Bit of hope]

Couldn't find this UID on the FBI site (NCIC Case Number: U450175328) either.... this is weird...maybe he is identified already and the Doe Network never got an update? I will contact them, asking about it. (if I can find the area team contact, this link isn't working either)

 

[Bit of hope]

It seems like the position of the area team manager 'Georgia' is vacant. That is really a shame. So much going on there....I did sent the contact (researcher) an E-mail with questions about the status of this case.....This UID is nowhere listed other then The Doe Network. Maybe he is identified already or fell into/between
the cracks......Hoping for the first option....

That is what I was hoping myself. I was unable to find any articles about this, though, and law enforcement was still pursuing his identity publicly in 2008.

Searched for homicide (it's save to say it was, you can't shoot yourself twice in the head with a large caliber) cold cases...no luck either....

The last edited notation at the bottom of the Doenetwork page indicates this case was converted from a hot case 7/6/2013. But that's still quite a few years ago.

I agree the cocaine user tattoo is weird...

Yes already 5 years ago...and nothing...What does a hot case mean anyway?

Hot Case is a Doenetwork classification where they'll list a case they know about but don't have a photo and/or verified information for. It doesn't mean anything beyond that the file was last touched five years ago.

I strongly suspect this guy was ID'd.

 

[Bit of hope]

I did sent an Email with questions about it to the Doe Network, but no answer yet. The file is still up.

Thanks. Good to know. Can somebody give me directions how to put 'identified' on this thread?

I just click "report" on the post with the information about the identification. That send a note to the mods.

Or you can PM one or more mods.

I reported this case, so it should be marked soon.

Thx Carbuff!

The brand/tattoo regarding drug use is a really weird coincidence. Gotta wonder if these two homicides are somehow connected.
