I'm not sure I have the title the way it's supposed to be for this forum. Mods, please correct as necessary. Your Help Needed To Solve Murder Cold Case August 04, 2011 5:20 PM In an effort to bring closure to families agonizing over lost loved ones NewsChannel 9 is partnering with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. Detectives have invited us into the files of some of their most puzzling cold cases. Hamilton County detectives have a real "John Doe" case on their hands, the first one to air on NewsChannel 9. They shared a forensic scientist's drawing of a man who's life came to a violent end the summer of 2006. It's based on an autopsy performed on a badly decomposed body. Hamilton County detectives still don't know who he is. "Somewhere out there there is a family grieving, not knowing what's happened to a family member," Hamilton County detective David Sowder said. http://www.newschannel9.com/news/county-1003619-detectives-case.html Much more detail in article.

Bumping. There is a huge rule out list for this UID, over 100 names. Meaning he was less likely to have been reported missing?
124 (123 + a duplicate) exclusions in the past 10 years (today marks the 10th anniversary). Surely, somewhere, this man is being looked for. Exclusions, for the record. NamUs last updated in 2015.

Is there any way the thread title can be Hamilton, Birchwood instead of just Birchwood, since Hamilton is the county name?
A commenter on the DDP page mentioned that they submitted James Layne but he is not on the rule outs list here... what do you think? Missing Person Case

As of this week Chattanooga JD 2006 now has 9 matches over 40cM with the highest being 56.8 which is not a close relative. But every match puts a mark somewhere on a family tree and hopefully one day they will all link together.
I recently submitted Johnny Lee Smith to the doenetwork for a possible match for this one. I received an email back this morning and they are going to look into this as a possible match and let me know something as soon as they get an answer. Keeping my fingers crossed this one will be him his family has been waiting so long for an answer. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

@carbuff long list! Am I correct in assuming all those MPs without a Namus number actually aren't registered in Namus? If that's the case, far out, it's amazing we ever identify anyone!
No, those names were on the old list. I think they all had numbers but I didn't take the extra time to copy them over, just added the new ones.
