Tiny guy and lots of races mixed into him! I wonder if the “Asian” may actually be indigenous. His reconstruction makes him look rather Native. Looks like he could be related to a friend of mine who is indigenous Mexican. Her dad is around the same height as our guy at around 4’11”. I noticed that indigenous people from Central America and Mexico tend to be really short. As in it’s not uncommon for men to be 4’10”-5’2”. Now I know Asians are also generally quite short. He’s got tons of races mixed in. Quite distinctive IMO. It’s not often you see three confirmed races mixed, I feel like. I’m mixed Eastern European (Russian and Ukrainian) with a bit of Central Asian (originally my ancestors here are from Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.) He’s a pretty generic looking guy but his genetic makeup is pretty distinct.

Super late to this thread. I work off of the road he was found on. The end of the road they are describing could very well be where they built up a bunch of large and very upscale houses more recently (including the area I work in). Beyond the road is what many here would consider alligator territory. I agree, I think he looks to be Native based off the reconstructions. There is a Seminole population here, including a reservation about 45 minutes to an hour south of the area off of I-75. Hoping this man is identified and his family given some closure soon.

Updating to add a few photos I managed to find. Here is Google street view of Vincent Road and Bonita Beach Road in May of 2011 as well as August of 2024. The dirt looking road is Vincent Road and the road the vehicle is on is Bonita Beach Road. Bonita Beach is the largest road in the city and as far as I know, it always has been.

The second set of photos is the very end of the street view for the area from the same timeframes. The images end and I honestly have never driven any further than Vincent on that road.
