I wish there was more information about this Doe, all we really have to go on is the height and weight (and I'm taking the weight with a grain of salt given the condition the body was found as I know NamUs sometimes lists the weight of the remains rather than the estimated living weight of the UID).

I was able to find out a tiny bit more about the circumstances of discovery from some news articles -- apparently police were dispatched to the 500 block of Edgar Waldo Way after someone called police and said there was a body in the area. The body was found in close proximity to railroad tracks and the Interstate 670 overpass (this article includes a video which shows the location the body was found).
