**Still possible** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- No named suspect ever matches the fingerprints or DNA.
- If he survived, a man matching the sketches and the occupational profile (metal fabrication, heavy smoker, possibly Canadian) existed in the Pacific Northwest in 1971 and vanished from no record.

## What would rule it out

- A confirmed physical match between the aircraft evidence and a named person.
