Case[]
A man's body was discovered on a dirt road by a school bus driver on March 11, 1985. He had been shot to death in a homicide, but his cause of death was not released until after he was identified.
On May 21, 2020, he was confirmed to have been identified. The identification was made by comparing fingerprints to those of a 21-year-old man named Maurice Long, who was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, for criminal trespassing in January 1985.
Tragically, he was found dead two days after his 21st birthday. It's believed that someone shot Long in a car and drove along the Interstate to find a place to dump his body.
Investigators think his parents are dead but that some of his relatives are still alive. They also suspect that one of his parents may have been in the military.
