He does strike a resemblance! I'm not able to move around on namus very well on my phone, but I can assume they don't have any personal information on Gil, like being a musician or anything. The Charley Project didn't have anything on him that I could find in their search engine. I'd love to know more about his personal life. Was he a musician? Of course, that's what I want to know.

Gil Leite was my uncle. He was not a musician, he worked in construction.

Thank you for the clarification! I’m so sorry your uncle has been missing all these years.

It's great that people are on here and actually helping bring closure to families.
