Has anyone ever investigated this case as a lead. Same state, same time frame ....startling resemblance.

discovered October 9, 1958, in a wooded area approximately 1/2 mile North of the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Midway Service Plazas, Bedford Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Extensive camping equipment, personal supplies, high powered rifle and ammunition also found nearby. Most of the camping equipment appears to be newer and shows little or no indication of use; also, though apparently well equipped for camping, investigators found no eating utensils (silverware) or food supplies. One science-related and two poetry books found with the camping equipment suggests the victim may have benefited from higher education, or to have been a serious student of poetry or literature.*Initial investigators felt certain the victim was not native to Bedford County, Pennsylvania.*In 1958, investigators determined the rifle to have been shipped from the manufacturer to a store in Fort Wayne, Indiana. No further tracing of the rifle's ownership could be effected.*Anecdotal information may connect this victim to the state of Kentucky: Prior to the victim's discovery, in September 1957, local police in Bedford Borough encountered a loitering man in possession of a rifle; this unidentified man said he was enroute from Kentucky to Canada.*Anthropologic examinations conducted in 1959 and again in 2003 revealed the victim to have been an adult male of European ancestry, likely between the ages of 30-35 with a living stature of about 6'4" (+/- 2").*The death cannot be classified as natural.*GPS data is approximate.*There is no ME/C case number. The Pennsylvania State Police incident number is 2-C-3-55.*Inquiries, please contact:*Pennsylvania State Police, Attn: Criminal Investigation Unit, 171 Arthur L. Hershey Drive, Bedford, PA 15522, telephone 814-623-6133,***OR ***Pennsylvania State Police, Troop G Headquarters, Attn: Criminal Investigation Assessment Unit, 1510 North Juniata Street, Hollidaysburg, PA 16648, telephone 814-693-6100.[/QUOTE
I have.I turned this lead in many years ago and not long ago also.To people on Mr Bones case.I thought there was a very good possibility this man may have been the boy in the box's father because he had European ancestry like the boy in the box.Both appeared to be in ill health or not as well taken care of for a year or two and no one knew who they both were.I thought they could be homeless and transients for a year or so together.I think it's a very good lead.Hopefully they are looking into it.I have been trying to get them to do a DNA test between them to check if they are related some how.They couldn't check before because they could only get mtDNA from the boy in the box.It would not come up as a match with Mr Bones.Only the mothers side.I am hearing now they can check with the boy in the box for matches using just more than mtDNA.I'm not sure how correct or accurate that information is.I have not heard any more.Hopefully they can and will check for a possible match with these two.What do they have to lose.They just might get a match.
The boy in the box
*Dr. Krogman estimated that the boy had been in chronic ill health - with accompanying malnutrition - for about a year. He described the boy as having "a long narrow head, a high narrow face, and a high narrow nose." That, to him, was enough to speculate on Northwest European ancestry - Scandinavia, West Germany, or England or Scotland.
Mr Bones
Anthropologic examinations conducted in 1959 and again in 2003 revealed the victim to have been an adult male of European ancestry
