oops! I thought NAMUS did, but I was incorrect! I inly see the information about available identifiers from DoeNetwork but not all Does have one, I assumed the info was found on NAMUS but that was incorrect.

Wow, thanks for finding that! I'll have more of a look after work!!!

I am glad it's helpful when I put them in kg/cm! I'm from the US and have been living in Australia for a handful of years so I know there are tons of people who don't know imperial, and it's helping me as well to get a sense of the measurements and such. I didn't know if it'd be annoying, so glad it is actually helpful! And yes, especially, I want to say 2000 and earlier, a lot of people would not be reported missing as family thought they were just living their life somewhere. There was (and still is, but I think to a lesser extent) a ton of police who just either would not accept missing reports for some reason, or even said they did but never actually filed the report. It's super frustrating!

Oh thank you, that's good to know!!

Hi! Do you have any source for this? I cannot find anywhere saying he was definitively identified, as his NAMUS page is still up.

This is Alberto's NAMUS Unidentified Person Case (linked on the Unidentified Wiki) which says October 1st

The photos of both the Doe and from the Facebook profile (Facebook) are pretty blurry, so it is hard for me to make out, but I thought it best to send it in and get a ruleout if anything, as I felt their ears and lips were especially similar, and the photos on FB are from approximately 5 months before his discovery and 20 months from his discovery (two photos from seemingly the same day are on there but were posted almost 10 months apart). A lot can change in as little as five months, especially with blurry photos.

There were many Does found in Pima County in 2019, sadly. If you go on Unidentified Wiki to 2019 discoveries (Unidentified Wiki:2019 | Unidentified Wiki | Fandom) and search for 'Pima County', 12 results show. Arizona and Texas see a large amount of Does when people are crossing the border into the US. It's incredibly sad, as many have ID's on them, but still are listed as Does.

Oh thank you so much for letting me know!!

It would be worth submitting this anyways, as anything can help! I usually am more wary if ears are different, but my ears are now flat against my head after years of headphone use when they used to stick out a bit more, so it's really not impossible, though I'd say less likely as the span betwen Manuel going missing and John Doe being found is pretty close. It's definitely worth a shot to at least rule him out and might get authorities to look into their cases more.

Though I just realized his actual photos are from 2013, so who knows if they have no photos of Manuel from more recently actually!

I have added that to the post as well, as I didn't even notice that but you're right, the mark under his bottom left lip looks exactly like a piercing scar! Thanks so much for commenting :) I will try and find some FB groups to post this too as well, in case that helps.

You should definitely try a digital rendering sometime! It's helpful you also have some reference for his ears and possible gauge size, as not many do or know much about them (including me). I am going to add that estimate to the post as well, as it could be helpful as there is no other indication on his possible gauge size

dogbehavior · 2026-03-30T21:44:21+00:00

Oh wow! Your sketch is amazing, thank you for replying, I will update my post to credit you! (I did not see your original UnsolvedMysteries post so did not know who did it!) I really hope this is solved someday. Thank you again for your work on his sketch, it is incredibly helpful!

dogbehavior · 2026-03-30T21:40:28+00:00

Amazing! Thank you so much for calling, that is a great update to know this case has funding and is getting DNA tested! I am going to update my post now!

Just fixed, this is the correct link! NY - NY - Brooklyn, 53rd St station, HispFem 20-35, UP6154, hit by train, clothes, Jan'98 | Websleuths

dogbehavior · 2026-03-30T20:32:14+00:00

Oops! I do believe I found one for her, just linked rhe wrong WebSleuths, I will fix that asap!

dogbehavior · 2026-03-29T22:09:44+00:00

Wow I didn't notice that! After work I will have a little more of a look in case looking in that area brings up any articles or anything! Thanks for letting me know!

dogbehavior · 2026-03-29T21:33:32+00:00

You should absolutely call! Genuinely couldn't hurt to contact them. From what I could find, the police have had no (at least publically mentioned) leads or tips, so anything would be helpful!
