Okay here is my reply. I will also check with Holy Ground this weekend and see if they knew this guy.









Hi Bern,

I bounced on and off the streets for about ten years mostly here in Tampa.Very familiar with homeless camps and the people, still know and run into some of the them. This guy is kind of an odd case. It takes a certain amount of time on the streets to earn a nickname like Preacher man, and how he never had his I.D. run by the cops or never had been arrested is nearly impossible. I know where the homeless camps are on 56th and Hillsborough ave and so do the cops. They pretty much hassle the homeless and run I.D's relentlessly. If he's not in the system and no one knew his real name that was probably the end of it. I've met people from all over the country on the streets that bounce through Florida and I couldn't tell you any more than a first name or nickname for any of them. Some I've known for years! He doesn't look familiar to me, but I'll show his picture to the intake counselor and house manager at the rehab, they never forget a face. You never know I've seen some pretty amazing and bizarre things happen working there. I'll let you know one way or the other.

NamUS states his fingerprints are currently not available. Maybe he had in fact been arrested before but his fingerprints weren't ran through the "right" database?

He somewhat resembles William Cameron Brown, who went missing from Key West, FL about 1 month before this John Doe was found. He went missing with his dinghy, presumed drowned. But, what if he actually made the trip via the sea, possibly making landfall at times to refuel until he reached Tampa?

Some of the forehead marks/scars look similar, imo.
Maybe too late to know for sure, the mp has a small tattoo and no mention of missing body part.
