Case History
The victim was located alive in Midtown at the Grady High School Stadium outdoor track, in the vicinity of the 900 block of Charles Allen Drive NE in Atlanta, GA. He had a severe head injury and broken hip. He had been jogging up and down the concrete stadium steps when he slipped and fell 30 to 40 feet, according to a witness who called 911.
An investigation around Piedmont Park area hotels, bars, fitness clubs, neighborhoods, churches and businesses produced no leads. Searches in surrounding states and government databases also failed.
Checking his fingerprints against criminal records and government databases yielded nothing. Fliers with his mug shot and description were plastered all over the neighborhood; his image was flashed in the media and flew across the country via Teletype.
A traumatic brain injury left him unable to walk, talk or communicate.
After being treated for nine months at Grady Memorial Hospital for a broken hip and a traumatic brain injury, the man was placed at Crestview Health and Rehabilitation Center in southeast Atlanta.
He died on August 11, 2007, still unidentified.
