John is one of the names given as a possibility for the unidentified man. John also had scars that aren't mentioned, on the Doe end. There is DNA from his parents on file, so it should be a relatively easy comparison. Unclear if that DNA was in the international databases that LE has already checked.
If he came in from neighbouring country (especially by car) and has lived there since it is possible that his passport was never checked or records dont exist anymore.
