I just thought that you might consider her case today. I thought she might be Anita Richter missing from Germany but it has been ruled out.

I submitted a suggestion for this Doe Network 2888UMCA - Unidentified Male to the police.

I think he could be Mitchel Weiser, the teen who went missing from the Watkin's Glen concert of July 1973 - https://int-missing.fandom.com/wiki/Mitch_Weiser

I think that the tattoo also bears some resemblance to his girlfriend Bonnie Bickwit who also went missing at the Watkin's Glen concert of July 1973.

What do you think?

The Volusia County (2013) John Doe was identified recently, they are intending to release details to the public shortly!

I submitted two suggestions for this one so I'll be curious who it is. If you hear any updates on his identity can you post them here?
