This is such a public space, I'm surprised a body was able to be undiscovered long enough to skeletonize. There are so many visitors to this location. Its a well known and well traveled landmark.


No estimated PMI. So we don't even know how long he might have been there.

No exclusions, or did I miss that?

No PMI, no exclusions, no cause or manner of death, and no clothing at the scene.

June in Georgia is hot, which could advance decomposition. But still, it’s such an odd scene.

I may have found a potential match, all the way down to the bars to fix the jaw.

Calvin went missing from Texas in 1994. He fits the criteria, including having a previous fracture. Since Doe is not on Doe Network, I can't submit this through them. The shutdown also means that NamUs might not have a response right now.

You can submit a match to the Doe Network panel even if neither person is in their own internal system. I've done it before.
