How do you find out if fingerprints or DNA is available on Namus? Still kind of new to Namus?

I printed out the NamUs case file prior to May 2018 when NamUs 2.0 was launched and that info was hidden from public view.

5'0? He was pretty small. You'd think a guy that short would stand out.

The PMI was minutes but the age range is 15-30? Surely they could at least figure out which end of that range he was at. Or maybe he just had one of those faces. The lower range might be partly because of how small he was. The newspaper clipping says about 20, so maybe the age range is just them being cautious. Sadly it sounds like this was a deliberate act to end his life. An unusual way to do it.

@Caring1 Hey could you post the current list of NamUs exclusions for this John Doe? I would greatly appreciate it.
