Who am i ?

Body on the Moor http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38290146


Coleman says it is not unheard of to find no forms of ID on a body. But on such occasions, the police usually find it is just a case of matching the body with someone who is reported missing. Not this time.

Six months have now passed since the man on the moor lay down by the path and died, and still no-one has even the vaguest notion of who he is.

There is only a description - height 6ft 1in, white, slim build, receding grey hair, blue eyes, large nose which might have been broken.

Re: Who am i ?

its 12 months today , and ive pondered over this for a few months , having read about it in the summer .
I also thought of posting it on here back then , as i think the more it is shown and talked about the more likely it is an identity will be put to this man .
They found a lot about his journey and a CCTV recording of him at the train station at London .
I would have thought by now someone would have put a name to him .
But perhaps he is from another country visiting England , he didnt want to be named but he did want to be found .
I have my own thoughts on why he went to that area to die , I think it was in some way connected to his past a loving memory of a wife or partner .

Re: Who am i ?

I have been following events on the radio and the forensic people know an awful lot about this man named 'Neil' including the fact he had an operation in Pakistan.
They just don't know his identity.

Full story here including his journey..
