He's probably not from the area and from another state: The four states that border Alabama are Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee. He could probably be from kentucky because of the cardinal shirt, although that's a bit of a stretch since theres many Louisville Cardinal Fans.
OPELIKA, Ala. — Police in Alabama are trying to solve the cold case mystery of a man found dead near I-85 who was wearing six socks on each foot.
Children playing in the woods found the decomposed body of a young man on Sept. 22, 1990 about one-tenth of a mile from I-85 in Opelika, which is about 15 miles west of the Georgia border
The victim was wearing a white St. Louis Cardinals jersey with red pinstripes, Jordache jeans and black Ellesse shoes. Opelika Police also reported one strange detail: The man was wearing six pairs of socks on each foot. His shoes were a size six, so detectives believe he may have been trying to fit into the size 8 shoes that he was wearing. One pair of socks had the Arizona state logo on them.

Six pairs of socks?
Wait a second, on September 30th 1990, the Cardinals Played against a team in Arizona, that's 8 days before this man died. He was likely hitch hiking or traveling but got killed. That can explain the two pairs of underwear and six pairs of socks, which although it may be uncomfortable to wear with size 8 shoes, it's useful for the cold.
