Looks pretty close, it would be so interesting to finally learn the true identity of this man!
I can zoom in IUD morgue pictures by a lot and you can see lots of detail; some things that look like moles seems to be dried blood, IMO. I can do even bigger images if you want me to, no problem
However Raymond's picture gets all distorted when zoomed-in. I wish we had a better quality picture of Raymond, and ITA that having a picture of him smiling will help.
Definitely not Ray. I was his best friend at the time of his disappearance and I'd know him if I saw him
Thinking of Toronto film festival which happens this time of year and Brett Stone who was discovered this time of year.
Here is someone who was meant to attend the Cannes film festival but is now missing...
http://missingalert.blogspot.ca/2011/01/konrad-kijanski.html
" Konrad Kijanski (Kijański)
Nationality: Polish
Date of disappearance: May 1999
Age at the time : 22
Height: 186cm
Eyes: blue
Last seen: Oropesa Del Mar/ Spain
Konrad went missing during summer holidays in Spain. His intention was to go to the Cannes Film Festival but he never got there. From that moment on the contact with him broke off"
Also, what was his cause of death?
Do you know if it was suicide or accidental?If I recall, it was heart failure caused by excessive use of stimulants. I forget where I saw that though.
Bret Stone -Unidentified Male found Deep River, Ontario September 5, 2001
Until my family or friends can identify me, you can call me Bret Stone.
On September 5, 2001, six days before the tragedy of 9/11, someone found me deceased in a wooded area near a cross country ski trail. Specifically, I was at Deep River, Ontario, on a bench in an outhouse, in a wooded rest area of cross country ski trail, in the Laurentian Hills.
It appears I had been there a couple of day before they found me. They say there was no trauma found to the body. So I guess I wasn't shot, or hurt that way. I didn't hear any findings on drugs or anything that could have been in the blood system.
I appear to have been traveling due to my possessions, well tanned body and sunburn face. Maybe I skied?
I was wear black cotton jockey shorts, faded button fly blue jeans size 30, a black leather belt and a black T shirt. I sported triathlon socks and black small size, fairly worn running shoes.
When they found me, I had plenty of personal effects but still couldn't identify me. Check this list out:
Silver ring with aquamarine gem stone worn on right hand, little "pinky" finger
Blue "Eagle CreekTravel" nylon knapsack containing hiking items such as:
Candle lantern
Mini mag flashlight
Water container
Matches
"Levi's" pocket watch with blue face and built in compass
Luggage tag from a Costa Rican domestic airline
Plastic laundry bag from Sutton Place Hotel, Toronto
Matches from Sheraton Hotel, W Hotels (American Chain), and Barclay Hotel in Vancouver
2 Protein Bars from a G.N.C. store, more than likely from the United States
Plus my Eyeglasses that are for a near-sighted person and are described as follows:
Frame is "Koh Sakai"Model # is " KS9365"Colour is " 6CPR"Size is " 46-23-145" Right lens prescription is "2.50 -1.75 X 182"Left lens prescription is " 3.50 -1.00 X 008" There is a reflective coating on the lens which is said to be expensive.
I think because foul play is not suspected they didn't try all that hard to figure out who I am. Yes, I'm sure they did the normal routines. However, I think more can be done to figure out my identity. Come on, I had all those personal items on me but no identification?
I don't think it's a match dotr ... Konrad at 186 cm would be 6'1", Bret is 5'3 to 5'4, Konrad is blonde and IMO looks much younger than Bret.
Probably a longshot here, but anyone recall the "rumour" that the 911 hijackers came across the US border from Quebec into Jackman, Maine? It's been refuted by Canadian authorities, but Deep River is just across the Ottawa river from Quebec and only about 450 miles / 8 hr drive to Jackman. Am thinking of the timing a few days before 9/11, location not far from Chalk River facilities, and Bret having absolutely no ID.
This is a long time to be UID. Where is this man's family and friends ... and why has nobody recognized him?
Thanks for raising 9/11 SB. But you may be sorry.
My apologies in advance to everyone on this thread, particularly Carl, but I will raise my nagging thought yet again.....Bret Stone and Lyle Stevik were both found within a very, very short time period after 9/11. Their deaths both appeared to not be due to foul play. Their identities were clearly hidden. They both appeared to have been connected to weight loss in some way (stimulants; belt pulled in a number of notches). And here we are more than 12 years later, and neither of them have been identified. These are two of the strangest 'unidentified' cases here on WS that I have seen and they have so much in common. Is there a link?
I am now ready for public flogging. I know I've raised this possible connection before, but I just can't let it go even though I know it's a long shot. Let's solve at least one of these cases so that I can let my obsession go. lease:
Gilbert Gilman - was an undisclosed victim of Keyes, who had been in the region to participate in a marathon. And it claims Keyes identified himself as a bisexual and a necrophiliac.
