That's three sets of skeletal remains found in Virginia this month. Two of the three were found on the side of highways.

Rut roh. Serial killer?

 

[carmac]

Is there any word on if these are male or female?

 

[not_my_kids]

Evidence of homeless encampments was found inside the wooded area.

Still no word on gender or age that I have been able to locate.

With all those sweaters he must have went missing in the winter before... or he was homeless but doesn't sound homeless to me.

Wasn't "lifetouch" a portrait studio?

And jeez.... 459 rule outs... wow.

 

[carbuff]

Yes, Lifetouch is one of those chain portrait studios. They do school photos, senior portraits, cute kid shoots in JCPenny, things like that.

Yeah, my kid came home with one of those combs last year. I thought it was hilarious because he never brushes his hair, ever!

currently 1012 exclusions for this UID!
There is a possibility that this man was from the Netherlands. Jacobus Boekhout, 50 years old and suffering from mental problems, was last seen in May 2011. His height fits and there are some facial similarities.

Possibly William Hensley? I see a strong resemblance in the nose. William Hensley is not on the ruled out list. According to www.charleyproject.org/cases/h/hensley_william.html William Hensley had no teeth, but don't see any information regarding this on the unidentified. If nothing else, could rule him out.

Height:
William Hensley: 68 inches.
Unidentified: Approx 70 inches.

Age:
William Hensley: 52 in 2012
Unidentified: 40-69

Location 96 miles apart, 2 hour drive.:
William Hensley: Last seen Farnham VA
Unidentified: Alexandria VA

Dates:
William Hensley: 7-3-2003 - after dispute with family.
Unidentified: Found 8-20-2012 - suspicions he may be homeless due to evidence of homeless encampment nearby.

 

[Brady12]

I have submitted William Hensley as a possible match. I came across an article that puts William Hensley EVEN CLOSER. I assume family/friends gave this information as they thought it was relevant; the article states William Hensley had previously lived and worked 40 miles from where the unidentified was found, the neighboring county.

How interesting that the estimated PMI is listed as "months" with the estimated year of death sometime between 2011 and 2012. I'm no forensic anthropologist, but I wonder how long it takes to become skeletonized in that area. I would guess it would take longer than just a few months?
