Hello
I wonder what condition the coins were in? Gold
Or Silver? When a person drowns, often the body
Bloats and floats to the surface. That is why I
Think he could have been weighted down. (murdered).
It does appear that they will determine who he
is. If the College has a name, they can chase
down the family, and do a DNA comparison.

Two of the biggest leads so far: the initials S.G.F
engraved on the person's belongings and a class ring.
On the front it reads 04. On the sides: M.C. and C.A.
"The only large college in this immediate area now is
Marshall University, but in 1904 it was Marshall
College," said Skidmore.
He thinks C.A. could stand for college of the arts.
Skidmore has called Marshall University Alumni to
find out if they had a student with the initials
S.G.F. He says it's just a hunch, but hopes it's
the right one.
A retired FBI agent and several Giles County
investigators are working on this case.
One of them tells us the coins they found near the
remains are valued at more than $500.
