## Resource

In July of 2018, two hikers in Big Cypress National Preserve stumbled across a deceased camper. The man was emaciated, surrounded with food and cash but no form of identification. The mystery surrounding who this man was stretched nearly two years. Law enforcement, the media, and thousands of online sleuths worked tirelessly to identify the man in the yellow tent, but what they ultimately discovered unsettled them all.
