Speedos with socks and shoes is such a strange combination to be wearing, I can't think of a scenario where someone could wear that.

Shoes: He may not have owned slide-on shoes. Americans are fond of flip flops and other sock-free slide-ons but other nationalities differ, perhaps especially for men. Some foot conditions (metatarsalgia, eg) make wearing non-supportive shoes very painful.

Speedo: Some of the “no shirt, no shoes, no service” establishments will insist on footwear but be more lenient on clothing.

If he was walking to the beach for a late night dip. At 350 lbs surely he didn't have on those skimpy speedos!

Was codeine a recreational drug in 2009? Add some alcohol for a buzz? Didn't Lil Wayne make a drink with cough syrup and booze?

@othram can you bring Mr. Strong home?

 

[DS2021]

codeïne

Codeine is also abused recreationally too

How does one go about requesting help from one of the genetic organizations for DNA work?

@othram can you bring Mr. Strong home?

If this one shows up on anyone's funding radar, I'm donating, absolutely

syrup has been around since the 90s, not sure what format he used though

 

[Bit of hope]

Per autopsy: alcohol and codeïne in blood. <This can cause drowsiness. Opioids and alcohol are not a good combination> <Codeine.

I wonder what the amounts were and if it could have effect on how he acted/his level of consciousness at all.

Speedo brand swim trunks

Speedo brand swim trunks

You're right! Probably knee length and not the bikini briefs we were all picturing

Correct, without amounts it could be anything. From abuse to harmless coughdrops.

I came across this gentleman reported missing from Miramar, FL a little over a year from when UID was found. I have to say even though absolutely nothing fits except for brown eyes and being from FL, I stopped in my tracks and thought he looks exactly like the really tall guy found in Miami Beach. It can’t be! But, look at the comparison. Crazy, he looks like he could be his son. Just wanted to share as I couldn’t believe the resemblance.

This happened to me once in a different case.

A man (who’s since been IDed) jumped in front of a train. He had a composite sketch. I was browsing missing persons for another case and a man’s picture popped up in an area not far from the JD. Good loooooorrrrddddd he was a dead ringer! Wasn’t him though, he has disappeared a year after the man had died IIRC.

Ears are very different. The rest, though, is uncanny.
