Wait what? So you are a female with these stickers and now a note affixed with packing tape to your vehicle?

And I live in Mt Plastic :lol:

My nails look pretty good for my age. Besides, just 'cause I live in Mt P doesn't mean I have that kind of money.

Hey y'all, it's looking like the hiker has been identified! It hasn't been confirmed yet, but from what I understand, some of his friends recognized him from a "friend of a friends post" somewhere.

David Mittelman with Othram has just completed a very brief live broadcast on the FB group for this hiker. They have learned from the hiker's DNA that he does have CAJUN ancestry. They believe he does have relatives in Louisiana. If any of you are willing to take an ancestry test, or have already done so, you can go to Gedmatch.com or DNAsolves, upload the results and select 'Opt-in'.

Also, there was a post in the group from a guy who claims he recognized him in one of the photos as a customer who was looking to purchase a VW Jetta. He drove from NJ to CT to take a look at one, but didn't purchase because he wanted diesel. But the guy claims the hikers name was Chris. And supposedly he remembered his middle initial being an H and his last name beginning with a P. The guy has contacted the Collier Sheriffs Dept and has provided them with this info.

Othram Labs has his dna and just announced today that testing is 100% complete! They have now moved into genealogy research and are working on a tree. If you have ever had you dna/genealogy with Ancestry or the other sites, you can upload it to DNAsolves or GEDMATCH.

Hope you all in the path of Delta are safe!

My timing is never great. Whole lifetime of a day late and dollar short.

It's my understanding that the composite sketch was done based on what he looked like at the time of his death. A whole 83 pounds.

I'm sure BRPD has already gotten info on him. But, if no has reported him missing, there's not much they can do. The Collier Co sheriffs office has basically stated they just need someone who recognizes him to call and give them his name.

There are doctored pics of him online without a beard. I don't want to hog up the forum too much today. So, tomorrow, I will try to figure out how to actually upload an image instead of just the link.

Anyone here reading this, responding or not.... THANK YOU for checking this out.

I'm not sure about those specific photos, but there were hikers who had blogs that posted about meeting him. There are also pictures of him with people who worked the hostels that he spent time at.

I can't believe he would've stayed somewhere that didn't get a contact number if he dropped dead on them. Or ask for ID.
