But a few weeks ago, authorities ran the man's fingerprints again. This time they found a match, in an FBI database. What they learned set their next search in motion.

Davis William Dixon was 63 when a roommate found him dead in his bed at his Donelson apartment on Aug. 7, 2013. Incredibly, according to the police report, even the man living with him did not know his name...

Jolley turned up a probation violation against Dixon in St. Louis from 1987, a clue that has authorities hoping to find relatives there.

Although he had lived in Nashville for almost 30 years and had many friends, even his roommate knew him only by his nickname.

"He'd kind of gone off the grid," said Denise Martin, investigations director for the Davidson County Medical Examiner's Office. "It's just a very extraordinary case, that he seemed to have lived here for a few decades, but for some reason never gave his real name, even to those he was intimate with."

But authorities still have not found a relative to claim Dixon's remains. They're making a final push before they hand Dixon's body over to friends, who have raised money to cremate him.

No DOB given, but should be 1949 or 1950, depending on his birthday.
 
Found a Dave Dixon in a 1965 Riverview Gardens High School in St Louis (says est. birth year is 1949) that very much resembles Mr. Dixon. ddixon1965.jpg
 
Well, maybe not very much resembles, I was more looking at the nose and mouth.
