I'm in a rush to get ready for work, so I don't have time to find the link... But there is another UID that was found "not TOO awful far" from there in the past couple years. I doubt they're connected, but I don't think the other body has been ID'ed yet.

He's been identified as a man from Texas (Jeffrey David Kingdon, 55 of Fort Worth).

Body found in box identified (WAVE-3, Louisville, KY 10/15/2015)

Jeffrey David Kingdon, a 55-year-old white male whose last known address was Fort Worth, Texas, was ID'd by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office after being found Tuesday in a wooden box in the 3000 block of South Park Road.

I haven't had a chance to look up any more about the guy and probably won't until after work. I'll check for more details sometime this afternoon and will try to post it sometime later.

* I just did a quick search for his name and found a few mugshots from the area, but they were all younger black males (i.e. not a WM in thieir 50's).
