Rocky Mountain News has an intriguing story of a body found in the woods and never identified:

The skeleton was found at what appeared to have been the campsite for a well-provisioned sleep among the pines. The man died in a sleeping bag under a domed tent with $620 in cash, 20 packs of Camel cigarettes and a pair of size 9M Timberland brown-and-black hiking boots, but with no identification. There was no sign of foul play.

Those TV shows like CSI and Bones make it seem like it’d be a snap to identify this guy from small scraps of data. In real life your body lies out there for years and after they find your bones, nobody can I.D. your remains.
