Suspected human remains found at West Asheville construction site
This article seems to line up but says the remains were deemed historical, but NamUs definitely shows modern clothing.

If the NAMUS height of 4'9" is accurate, the clothing found on UP108563's body would have been too big for Mr. Hernandez.

Dark athletic pants with cargo pockets - Russell Large (36-38)
Tops/shirts were size L and XL

What about Gordon Kaye who went missing in the Smoky Mountains, which is about an hour away from Asheville? Not likely, but it sounds as if Mr. Kaye's remains were never located. The clothing sizes might be appropriate for Mr. Kaye who was 5'10" and 200lbs, but the 7 or 8 tops and 2 pairs of pants found on this UP's body sounds more like someone who was trying to survive a winter. That much layering sounds excessive for Mr. Kaye in April. His vehicle was also found near his campsite. Lots of reasons this might not be a fit.
