I was wondering why his DNA is with the "Minnesota Minnesota Dept of Public Safety" when he was found in New York. And one source states he is of Hispanic origin and another states he was African American.

I wondered the same thing. It's an interesting case, as here's a guy who seems very well put-together and with some means. Not the usual John Doe. One would think someone would know the man or report that he's gone. Any knowledge on how they know he was in New Rochelle and took the train? Did he live in the Brewster area? If not, why pick that place as where you'd end it all?

I have to wonder if the last people to see him think he's happy and thriving somewhere else? Maybe he was planning on moving?

Akoya, Do you know how to get information on these discrepancies?. The biggest thing that struck me was the "MN Dept. of Public Safety" is said to have his DNA. I don't see the connection.

The Doe Network is the source for the discrepency so I would suggest reaching out to them. NamUs does not make note of this specific detail.
