Here are some possibilities:
http://www.nampn.org/cases/thomas_jeremy_michael.html (missing from Macon)

http://www.nampn.org/cases/nicholson_daryl_e.html (missing from Atlanta - 85 miles)

http://www.nampn.org/cases/roark_jason.html (missing from Snellville - 100 miles)

http://www.nampn.org/cases/dyer_jeremy.html (missing from Smyrna - 100 miles)

http://www.nampn.org/cases/peters_karl_steffen.html (missing from Sandy Springs - 100 miles)

IMO it looks like the one missing from Macon (Jeremy Michael Thomas) is probably the strongest possibility. Here's hoping that LE can ID the body soon and bring a family peace.
 
I wonder why LE thought it was a woman to start with - that article says the forensic anthropologist hasn't released height or weight yet. I'm wondering if the remains had a smallish structure that would at first appear to be a woman, but in all actuality is a thinly-built man. Just tossing ideas out there.

Maybe we should get the title of this thread changed to "male skeletal remains..." just for searchability? Just an idea.

Just fixed.

I am going to be talking with my GBI contact this evening about a couple of cases...I am going to inquire about this one.

I'll let y'all know if there is anything I can find out.
 
Ears were ringing, I just rec'd a call and it was about something else but gave me a chance to ask about this case.

She is going to look into for me on Monday...see if she can get us some more specific stats to work with...ask for the reports from ME and realease anything she is able to that could help us narrow down potential matches :) I will update you as I am.

"He was thought to be from the Eastman area," Barbee said, adding he's circulated the composite sketch in the Eastman and Dodge County area with no results.

In the past, the man worked in the heating and air conditioning industry, Barbee said.

The man is described as being black and in his mid 50s.

Barbee said police have identified a person of interest in the case, but aren't releasing that person's identity.

The body was found at the vacant lot, located in Unionville just off Mercer University Drive, after someone reported to police they'd overheard someone talking about running from the police and seeing bones on the vacant lot.

The bones were found close together in three sections and there wasn't any clothing or shoes

From an outdated link quoted here:

According to Namus he had lost most of his teeth antemortem, including all the teeth in his upper jaw.
 
I hate the sketch, it looks more like a pale white ghost that died of starvation than a living, breathing black male that anybody could recognize.

There is a height discrepancy. Namus has his height estimated at 66 inches (5ft 6), DN as 5 ft 10 to 6ft.
 
I've found a just-published interesting, lengthy story in an area (middle Georgia) newspaper about the unidentified (except by nickname) body of a man apparently killed in 2007 in Macon, GA.

The article mentions that information about the body is not "yet" listed on the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's unidentified page. So, I am not sure if the info is listed in any of the "unidentified" databases. Would it be appropriate to make a thread for this person in the main part of the WS "unidentified" forum -- or do you need database links to do that?

Thanks for any advice! Here's are a couple of excerpts from the long article, and the link, if any of you care to read it:
Can you catch a killer if you don’t know who he killed?

The dead woman was a man, nothing but bones and question marks.He went from “Jane Doe” to “Unidentified Dead” to “Bones” to “Mr. Bones.” A homicide investigator insisted on the “Mr.” because it sounded more dignified. ...

...It is more or less an online morgue.

The GBI keeps it open on the Internet -- a Web page titled, simply enough, “Unidentified Remains.” Forty-eight drawings and clay sculptures, faces of the unknown dead.

They are not gruesome by any stretch, and yet they are difficult to look at. Their gazes and made-up smiles are haunting, cartoonish; their likenesses frozen in a wax museum of the deceased.

Shorty is not among them. At least not yet.

Exhaustive scourings of prison and public-records databases for his true identity have thus far proven futile. ...

ETA: Thank you, CarlK90245, for directing me to the thread and moving my post here!
 
Doesn't seem to be anything new that I could find on this case. Nobody even remotely resembling him in Namus in that time frame.

I think this article might have information regarding the Shorty case. I really wish I had a subscription to Newspaper.com The Macon Telegraph from Macon, Georgia on June 23, 2013 · H1

Yes! There is a very informative 4 or 5 page spread about the case! I’m still not able to upload screenshots or images, so hopefully someone with a newspapers subscription would be willing to help out!

This article was linked and quoted up thread and it seems to be what I just read in that newspaper. But I can’t get that link to work...

It would be wrong for me to ask you to write all of it down but did you see if they arrested the suspect they had?

Also, are you using your phone for this or your computer? I recommend using your computer.
 
Hey, do you know what pages of the newspaper I can find the case? Etc H5
 
Ok, here’s what I could tell from the article. Shorty picked up prostitutes often and may have been killed by “Big Boy”
