We are asking for help from the public to identify a man who suffers
from retrograde amnesia who goes by the name of Benjaman Kyle. We ask
you to forward this email to as many people as you can in the hope that
someone will recognize him and he can discover his identity.
Benjaman
was found badly beaten in the dumpster walk-through behind a Burger
King outside of Savannah, GA in August 2004. He survived the beating
but upon regaining consciousness, he
could not remember who he is.
Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjaman_Kyle for the full story along with his picture.
Benjaman's
few memories indicate he is 62 years old, born August 29, 1948. We have
reason to believe he lived in Indianapolis 954-1963, between the ages
of 6 and 15. He recalls many landmarks of the town. He believes he was
raised a Catholic but has little knowledge of the
Catholic schools there.
His
next memories are of Boulder, CO starting in 1976 and extending into
the early 1980s. He has detailed memories of movie theatres,
restaurants, and the University of Colorado at Boulder campus.
Benjaman
has extensive knowledge of restaurant and movie construction,
management, and equipment, so be probably worked in these industries.
He does not know how to cook.
We have had no luck in identifying
Benjaman through fingerprints and dental records. He has taken a
battery of DNA tests but has only found lukewarm Y-DNA matches that
indicate his family name could have been Powell or Davidson. However if
Benjaman was adopted, he probably
would not have either of these family names.
Autosomal
testing has revealed he has ancestry in the western Carolinas, Eastern
Tennessee and the surrounding areas of N Georgia, N Alabama, E. entucky.
Names that come up among his distant cousins along other lines of his
family are Perry, Hooper, Davis, Davenport, Pilkenton (Pilkington),
Boggs, Frost, and many others.

Benjaman
has received widespread publicity, appearing on the Dr. Phil TV
program, and more recently on National Public Radio's All Things
Considered. He has been featured in newspapers around the country yet
no one has come forward to identify him.
We have done limited
searches in yearbooks, but not knowing what he may have looked like as a
child, and considering he might not have gone to high school in
Indianapolis, we do not plan to devote a lot of time to this. Searches
of birth announcements, Catholic adoption records, drivers license
photos, and other such databases have produced no results.
Benjaman
does not know his Social Security Number - therefore he cannot get a
job, cannot get medical coverage or a bank account. He cannot apply for
a credit card. He cannot even get a library card because he does not
have photo ID.
We are appealing to the public to help us
identify Benjaman Kyle. We are certain there are individuals who have
known Benjaman in the recent past. We ask you to forward this email to
as many people as you can. We'd like to give Benjaman his life back.
If you have any information on Benjaman, please contact Colleen Fitzpatrick at colleen(a)identifinders.com or (714) 296-3065.
