This is John in his Junior year in 1976 at Greencastle High School, Putnam County, Indiana. This is a decade before he disappeared but the only photo I could find. I would say he had blonde hair and blue eyes. In previous years' photos he was wearing glasses too.

You're right, he looks very similar! I almost reached out to ask him but I double checked he was still missing on NAMUS and noticed his case is held by the Newton County Coroner's Office....which is weird, why would a coroner hold a missing person's case?
So I'm gonna reach out to them and see if they can preview more info about this young man and the circumstances of his disappearance.

It seems the information for this young man was entered into NamUs incorrectly and instead referenced an unidentified young man whom he was compared to (Brad 88) who has since been identified. The coroner doesn't hold the case and has requested the information in NamUs be updated.
Once we know the case holder maybe we can see if there's more info about his case.
