There's a bit more info here:

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/a/amabile_james.html

I'm really hoping he's still with us....somewhere.

Do you think this was possibly James' mother? It has a James Amabile listed as living in Folsom, and this obit was from '08.

Also, if you use this website www.peoplesearchpro.com and look up James Amabile and type in Folsom, PA, he lists him as deceased as of 2003. How weird?!

Going back to the UID, IIRC the condos were still in construction in 2004, would have been much easier to fall or dump a body once inside

Definitely a possibility that James ended up falling in there, especially since it was under construction, but that takes us back to the question of where his car ended up?

UID was determined to be African American.

Ruleouts from NamUs: (NamUs last updated 2014)

Richard Dyer 1953 Virginia
Jimmy Williams III 1954 Virginia

Edward Brooks missing from Philly PA since 1998, fits height, no details of shoe size on Namus.

Namus says date of death 0-2004 and the building where the UID was found had been abandoned for 14 years before his discovery so date range not out of scope. (However another part of Namus says PMI 12 months for the UID. Would remains become skeletonised in this time?)

Edward’s MP link:
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Can anyone see the rule outs in Namus, have they increased since @rats post in 2016?

Yes they would be skeletonized by then.

No updated ruleouts (“comparisons”). You can see them when you’re logged in.

Thanks @rats I live outside the US and therefore can't get a Namus account

No recent updates on this case and since I have Namus access these days I can confirm no new exclusions since the list posted upthread back in 2016.
