In cases like this I always wonder if the people in the car become obsessed with finding out who the person was and if the don't why not? I would be on a mission and likely wouldn't be able to think about much else...just musing out loud.

This case has always stuck with me because I have worked with a lot of young men around this fellow's age in an area not too far from where this incident happened.

A young man struck and killed by a vehicle. No identification--only possession is a Yu-Gi-Oh! card in the wrapper. Was it purchased from the 7-Eleven right where he was struck? There are a lot of unknowns about this case that might help clarify some questions and help to narrow down a search.

I was never able to find much in terms of media coverage, either, which is very unfortunate.

It seems like a very solvable case. To date, I have not been able to match up his information with any information I could find online.

MICHAEL J. HOWELL WAS LAST SEEN AT A BUS STATION IN PHILADELPHIA , PENNSYLVANIA. HE WAS TAKING A BUS BACK TO SUFFOLK COUNTY NEW YORK.

There were a few TCG shop locations near where the body was found that may have had leagues. You have to register to play in them. Many unanswered questions surrounding the Yu-Gi-Oh card(s). If it's a singular card, is it a league promo? If it's a pack, probably fungible.
