As stated, 2 callers attempted to identify the man. The callers' names and numbers are listed in order of call. The first caller believed it to be her son, a model with some acting work. The second caller believed it to be her ex-husband, and was upset as to why another woman had a photograph of him. However, the dates were off in her assumption. It is likely to be the first person, James (Rusty) Russell Meyers.
