This unidentified looks identical to Robert Byrnes. I showed my friend and she thought the same.

Wow, good find! I definitely see the similarities. I did notice the weight and eye color were different between the NAMUS profile and the missing person listings, but not sure how often this is the case - I’m thinking it’s not uncommon.

I did find some interesting comments from Sergeant Byrnes’ family at the YPD FB post re: his state of mind and their thoughts on why he went missing. Sounds like a very sad situation all around. Yonkers Police Department

I assume this UID has been ruled out for Robert by now? The UID's NamUs page was recently updated with a photo of a tattoo. I don't see a mention of Robert having any tattoos.
