Michael Lane, went missing from Panama City, Florida in June 2010. Age 48 which takes him a bit out of the range. Just not finding anyone who fits this very well.

Was looking for something else and happened across this on the Louisiana missing persons page from LSU Faces site. Then I saw your post. Apparently the name posted may not be the MP's actual name. I am hoping this MP's weight is a typo- a man almost 6 feet tall weighing only 130 lbs?? Here's the link- he does wear cowboy boots...

Guessing if PMI were approx. 4 months then this person could have been someone that visited over the summer, not necessarily a local.

Looking at the geography of (where I assume) the lake is, it's a pretty secluded one. Unless you were trekking through the woods, the only way to access it would be to park at a nearby business and walk through some trees. The other way would be hitching a ride on a train, since many train tracks intersect around the area.

His clothing reads as very farm/desert to me. If he traveled from out of town, I would assume he was visiting from another southern state (Texas, Alabama, etc.). Probably came to the area for local fishing over the summer. Maybe he suffered some kind of medical episode while fishing?

Also, the towel in the boot makes me think he suffered some sort of ankle/leg/hip ailment. That could be a helpful clue to identification.
