I first blogged about Benjamin Kyle almost exactly 6 years ago – in early October of 2009. Now – I see that through the use of genetic genealogy, his identity is known. The following teaser is from an article posted at the September 16, 2015 DailyMail.com website.
A man who was found beaten and left for dead in a dumpster in Savannah with no name, age or memory has finally discovered his true identity.
The amnesiac has called himself Benjamin Kyle, or BK, since he was discovered in the Burger King dumpster, sunburned and severely injured, in August 2004.
He woke up in hospital with no recollection of what happened or his past and was diagnosed with retrograde amnesia, which is memory loss caused by injury or disease.
But after over 10 years of searching for answers, in which time he has lived mostly in Jackonsville, Florida, Kyle now has them, thanks to the work of a genetic genealogist.
The specialist, CeCe Moore, and her team say they spent two and a half years investigating Kyle’s case by crosschecking his DNA with others in databases across the country, News 4 Jax reported.
