Ralph Alan Newcombe is a decent PM to JD, imo. The timeline and circumstances surrounding his disappearance make me wonder if he walked away to either start anew or end his life far away from home and loved ones. Height is off by 2", weight by 20-30 lbs but there is an 8-month lapse b/w Ralph's LKA date and the day JD died. The long, straight brown hair, the mustaches and beards and their eye color matches. I can't determine whether this PM is worthy of submitting for comparison but given this slight potential match and the tip @JSolt1210 posted about in Ralph's thread, I think his case could use some dusting off.

Agree, it does look like a good possibility worth submitting!
