''In October 2020, the remains belonging to an unidentified individual were discovered in Tucker, Georgia. Tucker is a city located just northeast of Atlanta. A lawn maintenance crew discovered the remains right behind a business parking lot near a tree line. The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene. The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office transported the remains to the District Attorney’s Office and determined that they were that of a black male who was 5’10” tall and weighed 113 pounds. The man was between the ages of 18 and 39 years old. At the time of the man’s discovery, he was wearing a clear stud earring.

Details of the case were entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) as UP101168. To help visualize the man's appearance during his life, an artist rendering was created and released to the public in hopes that it would generate new leads about the man’s identity. Despite the exhaustive efforts of law enforcement, the man’s identity has remained a mystery.''

''This investigation led to the positive identification of the man, who is now known to be 18-year-old Josiah Campbell, who was missing from Snellville, Georgia. Campbell was last seen on September 25th, 2020, when he left his home to go to a recording studio. Campbell would be 22 years old today.''

I wonder if there was foul play. Let's hope the reasoning behind this young man's death can be determined now he has his name back! Great work as always from Othram.

The artist did a good job depicting Josiah's prominent overbite and the shape of his eyes/face. The only things off were the size of his nostrils and his eyebrows, though those were probably just guesses. RIP Josiah, police should definitely investigate the "friends" he was last seen with.
