O/T - Christopher Knight the North Pond Hermit?Odd case. He seems so well to do upper middle class. Antique silverware, judging the pics, fancy foldeable glasses, vintage (ladies?) watch, a photo of a nice family in a big kitchen and artsy shots of buildings and this painting.
And then the homeless campsite, does not match all that at all...
Maybe someone who just fell on hard times and took old memories with him.
Or someone with mental illness who just decided to camp in the woods, like this "Chris" case (forgot his last name), i think from Maine. Well off, educated man from a prominent family who decided to roam the woods and ultimately died there.
I think he's still alive.O/T - Christopher Knight the North Pond Hermit?

I think the glasses are cheap readers and the watch definitely a modern man's watch. Looks like a Fossil brand.Odd case. He seems so well to do upper middle class.

They had a solid lead from the photo of a Thanksgiving get-together. Maybe they need DNA to confirm? It's so rare to have a good potential ID right away. I hope he is identified this year!Thinking about this guy today.
Yes. Very likely.Could this be him and they're waiting for formal identification ?
Lowell Police turn to public for help finding missing man
I tried googling "sammie davis missing" but without much hope and it was one of the first results. The glasses found with the remains look similar to the ones he wears on the pictures. Let's hope he is ID'd soon and his family and friends finally get closure.Yes. Very likely.
Good find.
Seems like a likely match. The timeline seems reasonable too. Being adopted might make any DNA identification difficult which is perhaps why it's taking so long.I tried googling "sammie davis missing" but without much hope and it was one of the first results.
