The body must have had some ID that they know already it's not a local?

I don’t see any update to their original post or any new comments. I wonder why they waited so long to announce the name.

Well that’s interesting, how do you go from a bus stop to a field without foul play....

Circumstances of DisappearanceWas last seen at Greyhound Bus Station on Lamar Street. He was on his way from California to New Orleans for his daughter's wedding.

If the name is not certain, the identifying information must not have been a drivers license. Hence, no photo.

Where is the daughter now? Her name may have changed. I would think there would have been some type of publicity when he never showed up for a wedding? This is odd to me. I can't find anything on Facebook. She should have a photo, even an old one is helpful.

This seems solvable considering there is a NamUs for someone with the same name. It's like all these clues are floating in air and no one can grasp them and stick them all together.

Hi. I found the body on our property. The officer on the scene said he had a medical bracelet on so this should be pretty easy to solve?

Welcome to Websleuths! We always appreciate the insight. I'm sorry you had that experience. It must have shocking and sad.

A medical bracelet is pretty common for hemophilia and diabetes. They can both be deadly. What is your estimate of the distance between the bus station and where he was found? Is it a walk-able distance or would he had to have been in a vehicle?

Welcome Hootie99 always appreciate local info and assistance. That must have been unsettling..

When I first read the title of this thread I thought that a dead Buffalo had been found, I should put my glasses on.

I hope this person gets back to his/her family soon, how terrible to stumble across a dead body. Shudder.

They must still be waiting for formal DNA? Or did they forget to take down Mr Monroe's Namus page? The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
