The body of a man was found behind an abandoned gas station in 2003. Now, in 2022, the FBI has helped the Henry County Coroner identify him.
HENRY COUNTY — Nearly 19 years after he was found behind an abandoned gas station in Henry County, a John Doe has been identified.
Coroner Stacey Guffey says during the early investigation stages, law enforcement officials gathered fingerprints, DNA, dental records and anything else that could have been used to identify him, but no identification was able to be made. The man has been identified as Daniel Diaz. He was born in 1977 and a resident of Columbus, Ohio, prior to his death.
"Hearing the news of his death, the family was very distraught and emotional. After further discussion, the family decided to leave Diaz’s remains in Henry County, and they plan to visit his gravesite this year," Guffey said.
