If anyone has access to rule outs for this UID, if you could kindly post it would be appreciated.

FYI - Revere is just north of Boston, and I was looking at the Josef Unterhuber missing profile.

There are no rule-outs listed on NamUs.

However I did find this:

The Doe Network: Skeleton Doesn't Match Missing Italian Man -- March 2002

Not sure if it's the same Doe or not.

Thank you She Who!

That rule out is from skeletal remains found in Quincy, MA which is just south of Boston. It was an intriguing story. Quincy UID is not listed in NAMUS or Doe Network as far as I can tell, but the below link provides a few more details.

The search for one missing man: Quincy skeleton may be that of Italian jilted by girlfriend
