Still unidentified a year on.
Local news report.
I grew up near this area and check the local news regularly, they post reminders every few months because it’s so unusual for anyone to turn up unidentified like this. I can’t think of another case from the area, aside from foreign nationals here to work who take a while to be identified.
The problem I have with this case is that, while it is a beauty spot, there are many beaches and surfing/body boarding spots on the coast that would be preferable to take a dip in, rather than this reservoir. I think it may be possible he’s a long distance cyclist and his belongings are stashed somewhere and haven’t been found yet. Maybe he decided to cycle from the top to bottom of Wales or vice versa, and was camping under the stars in between. There are a lot of people doing stuff like that in the Welsh countryside. It’s possible his belongings have been stolen but it’s an incredibly low crime area, with very few vehicle thefts happening around there. Most crime in this rural part of Wales is targeted at farmers (gun, livestock, farming equipment) or small time drugs busts, pub fights, etc.
This case is almost as if it’s out of the Hinterland/ Y Gwyll TV series.
