''In July 1992, an unidentified white male was found on a sidewalk in St. Petersburg, Florida at 19th Street and Central Avenue. St. Petersburg is located in Pinellas County on Florida's gulf coast and is part of the Tampa Bay area. The unknown man was transported to Bayfront Medical Center where he was diagnosed with head trauma. Two months later, he was transferred to Gulfport Convalescent Center Nursing Home, where he later died on October 9, 1992. He became known as Pinellas County John Doe.

In July, when the man was initially found, he was wearing a red checkered shirt, a pair of blue pants, and eyeglasses. He also carried a pocket knife. The man was described as having brown eyes, black bushy eyebrows, gray hair, and a mole on the left side of his face as well as on his right temple. Estimated to be between the ages of 40 and 60 years, the man was approximately 6' tall and weighed around 146 pounds. At his time of death and in the thirty-two years since, the man's identity'' was a mystery.

''In July 2008, details of the case were entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) as UP2303. A composite sketch was developed and released to the public in hopes that it would generate new leads about the man's identity. Despite extensive efforts by law enforcement investigators to identify the man, no matches were found, and the case went cold due to a lack of viable leads.''
