I think there's a possibility there's been a mistake. They cite NamUs but his profile is still up. The NamUs profile linked on his Doe Network page is not the correct one.. I sent them a message, hoping I'll hear back.. Perhaps DN have more info and NamUs hasn't taken down his profile yet. Texas isn't particularly good at removing profiles after identifications.

He is no longer marked as identified on Doe Network. I was very much hoping they knew something we didn't..
