Bumping case up. I'd love to see this case solved.
Oh wow, I lived a few doors down from this exact address during my time in Cincinnati and I've never heard about this. Where Broadway Doe was found is in Over-the-Rhine, particularly the arts neighborhood now referred to as Pendleton , and just a block away from what would be considered The Banks (aka downtown riverfront area). Many people will say it was an especially rough part of town in those days. Also worth mentioning that '88 was a huge year for Greater Cincinnati, so the population was booming. I wish we had any info on how Broadway Doe died. :-(
The ears look very different to me.Cases submitted to investigators.
In 1988, Lyndon Howard Fuller jumped from a third-story hospital window in Berwick, Nova Scotia, and ran away. About a month later, an unidentified male was found deceased at the bottom of a stairwell in Cincinnati, Ohio with a good amount of scars. I think there's a good chance these two are the same.
Important Considerations:
Are the unidentified's scars consistent with a fall from three-stories a month prior?
The unidentified has no expression, while the missing has a smile with his mouth open, and flared nostrils.
The unidentified's photo was taken with his head tilted back from the camera, looking up the brow and nose, making the eyebrows appear thicker when compared to the missing's photo.
While both have brown hair, the unidentified's hair appears darker. This can be due to the condition of the hair, and lighting. The missing runaway may have also altered his hair style, and color.
Both have blue eyes, but it's difficult to make a fair comparison given each photo. In the missing's photo his eyes aren't illuminated, while the unidentified's eyes were created by an artist. I suspect trauma to the face as the eyebrows were also digitally modified (mirrored).
Given some of these considerations, I included an altered side-by-side, factoring out hair and eyes.

Indeed they do, especially the right earlobe. The unidentified's photo is photoshopped. The condition of the unidentified's head is not known but much of the face seems to be altered.The ears look very different to me.
Very good point. I would suspect that the artist would have easily noticed this as they reconstructed his face, but maybe his head injuries were much too significant..? That's the best I can come up with but I agree with you.219DMNS - Lyndon Howard Fuller has another photo of Lyndon Fuller where his overbite looks much more pronounced than the UID. I don't think the closed mouth would be enough to cover it.

You are correct! I'm not sure how I f'd that up. It seems I swapped the dates. I better cancel the submission.This UID was found deceased in October of 1988. Lyndon went missing in November of 1988, so it can't be a match.
We all make mistakes! It happens. Thank you for giving your time to help identify does.You are correct! I'm not sure how I f'd that up. It seems I swapped the dates. I better cancel the submission.
