Thanks, I forgot to check the DNA. :facepalm: I have heard conflicting things on how DNA works with NaMus. I guess if they have DNA for both on file there is a good chance a match would have popped up automatically. Then again, they still have the the race of the UID as "white" so I wonder if a mismatch on race will prevent a match on other features? I would hope DNA would be run without any other qualifiers, but I don't have any idea how that works. When I searched for missing people from Akron, Neal's case was one of the first to pop up. In some databases, however, he is only listed as African American and he is mixed race with AA and Korean. This could lead investigators to not even look at him if they were only looking for white or Asian missing people.
I'm really torn on Neal's case because it seems like they think he jumped on top of a moving train and the assumption around the web seems to be that he would have been seriously injured in a jump like that. I also don't know how long a paranoid schizophrenic could manage to hide on the streets. Is it probable? I don't know. :thinking:

I hope you didn't take offense to my critiquing your suggestion. I appreciate all efforts, even tired mom brain efforts! :loveyou:
Not in the least, more frustration with myself. I typically am really good at checking off the obvious like the dates. We all come across that one person who will post a suggestion for a case like this, and the suggestion is like an 80 year old that went missing in California 20 years before and insist there is a chance lol. I just don't ever want to be viewed as that person.
At Big city thank you so much for that DNA clarification. So do they not have an (Namus) have an automatic database DNA gets run through first? Do we know which form of DNA namus uses?

So looking at Ohio gangs I saw 187 boys. Any chance the 87 could have a 1 in front of it? I looked and I don’t think it’s impossible.
I sent a FB message to the Cincinnati Ohio Missing Person's FB page to see if they could post the info on the UID on their page in the hopes of someone identifying him. I mentioned the 330, assuming it was an area code and they replied "the 330 is in reference to John the Baptist 3:30 "He must become greater; I must become less" which would follow the other tats he has...not an area code."
Bumping off this post~~~
Just saw that the Missing Person from Ohio FB page has the UID posted as a visitor post.
I found a guy last night that had so many similar tattoos. I was freaking out and then found his obit from 2010.....
Um...330 is the area code for Akron, Ohio, "the rubber city." I know because I live here, and that's my area code.
216 and 440 are both used in the Cleveland area. I lived there and when I did, mine was 216.
I can't believe they thought it was a Bible verse with a book not listed and no :

Waterfalllady~~Thanks for posting!!! That certainly is helpful information!
May I ask a question, please?
Is it common for someone from Ohio to support Ohio State by getting a tattoo without ever have attended Ohio State? Could we be looking for someone in the Ohio State Football program at one time? Given the N.F.L. tattoo and the Ohio State tattoo?
TIA!
