How on earth did this UID become “charred”? Was he killed elsewhere and moved here? Was there as fire in the area? So little info:
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

 

[YaYa_521]

No ruleouts listed.

This news article is illuminating. He was stabbed in the neck and upper torso at another location, then the body was brought to this place and set on fire, where it was still smoldering on its discovery.

Still no ruleouts listed against this UID.

Russell Chase (mentioned above) has 3 ruleouts in his MP record in Namus but this Sandy Springs body is not listed as a ruleout.

Is this the same case? The date is off by a few days but the details seem to match. If it's the same man it looks like he was identified back in 2015.

In November 2001, a Dunwoody father and his son stumbled upon the still-smoldering body of a man in some woods off Morgan Falls Road. At the time, police said they had no identification on the man, nor did they have a suspect in the case.

An arrest warrant affidavit obtained by Channel 2's Mike Petchenik said in December 2013 police identified the man as 35-year-old Jose Almeida, a Brazilian who had come to the United States about a year before his death.
