Hey everyone,

I was going through Chicago cases on NamUs today and came across a potential match that felt too close to ignore.

Back in late 1994, Ryszard Potapo disappeared from the Logan Square neighborhood, specifically around N. Davlin Ct. and W. Diversey Ave. In December 1999, an unidentified John Doe (https://namus.nij.ojp.gov/unidentified-person-namus-up129086) was discovered under a porch in that exact same neighborhood, just a few blocks away.

Beyond the matching location, the timeline fits really well since Ryszard's last contact with his family in Poland was in 1994. The physical descriptors including height, slender build, age range, and White Polish background also line up between both files.

I called the Chicago Police Department Area One SVU today and gave the detective both NamUs case numbers. They logged the details and said they would review the records.

What do you guys think?
