The decedent's skeleton was discovered by three fishermen near a lake in November 2015. The man was speculated to be Johnny Radabaugh Jr., who disappeared from the area a year before but DNA testing later disproved this.
Chemical isotope testing revealed the man was not likely native to the United States and had resided in Florida for only a brief amount of time. He likely grew up in Western Europe, the Middle East or Austrailia.
