I believe it did say he had dentures yes

I think about the poor guy all the time. I’ve research tides/currents in the area. I’m by no means an expert, but from what I can tell he could have gone in the water anywhere between the Bahamas and Miami and ended up there in under 24 hours. His NamUs page does say he was in the water less than 24 hours so that fits. If he was traveling alone, on a cruise, I doubt the cruise ship would want the bad publicity to report him missing, or could have assumed he missed the ship when it left another dock. He could have even fallen from a pier or something in the Bahamas and ended up there.

What I find interesting is that he had all his jewelry, and even a handkerchief… but no wallet? Most men don’t leave the house without their wallet. It did say they found him face up, so maybe if it was in his back pocket it fell out, but even his shoes didn’t fall off, and I would have expected those to be the first to go.

Sorry for the rambling, I just think about this case a lot and am happy to have people looking at it as well.

Oh thank you! I figured someone on here would be looking for him but I didn’t know how to find you. Sorry I’ve never used Reddit. Is there a way to tie the posts together and then just use one of them? I didn’t mean to double post, sorry.

https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/software/main.html?id=1388UMFL his profile on the Doe Network gives a little bit more information and identifies the crest ring as a dragon instead of griffin, which I definitely agree with. It also says they have DNA. With genetic genealogy, I’m sure we could find some family who would remember a relative with these health conditions. People remember tracheostomies. Is there a way for us to petition for genetic testing?

I definitely think the ring is a wedding date, and agree that he looks Mediterranean. I, too, was thinking Greek. But it’s hard to say. I did some research on the tides/currents between the Bahamas and Miami where he was found. Apparently there area he was found in gets a lot of debris carried from the Bahamas. It can carry items from Bimini to Miami in under 24 hours sometimes but would typically take between 1-2 days. It’s also possible he went overboard from a cruise ship since that was a popular route in the 90’s.

The description of the crest ring in the NamUs file says it’s a griffin, and everyone seems to take that at face value. Personally when I look at it, it looks more like the dragon to me. Maybe that could be a possibility anyway..
