This case is over 20 years old.
On September 23, 1996 Florida D.O.T. workers found some human remains in a wooded area adjacent to I-10 westbound at the US 301 exit ramp in Baldwin, within the area circumscribed by the exit ramp. Although we still don't know his identity his manner of death became quickly apparent to the investigators. His cranium was found to be consistent with Blunt Force Trauma with indication of at least one blow to the right side of the head. That's a pretty good indication that he was the victim of a homicide. There's no shortage of clues in this case. Here's what we know so far about the victim.
