Can You Identify Me?
Charlie Doe
Worldwidehippies - For now you can call me Charlie T. I think that’s a cool name, at least until a cyber sleuth or some cop, pins a real name on me.
My story is this — on November 19, 1993, in a wooded area off the 1-95 near Hwy 327 someone found me. Well they found my body. The Medical University of South Carolina determined my death was caused by a gunshot to the head on or about November 18 or November 19 of 1993.
I believe myself to be a pretty good guy. I’m described as being 35 to 55 years of age, 5’10″ to 6’0″, and about 160 to 180 lbs. Oh yeah, I had dark receding hair with brown eyes. I didn’t have any facial hair, nor scars. I’ve had extensive dental work with a partial plate, and my fingerprints are on file.
I was wearing a funny T shirt that day. I guess not that funny seeing as how I was shot. But the shirt read “Your Weapon Is Your Best Friend” and under the picture it continued to say “It’s the only thing around here that doesn’t yell at me.” So either I had a good sense of humor or I was trying to give a message. — Did I shoot myself? Or was I shot by someone else?
Ok so if you are my family — what’s the hold up? eh? I’m waiting around for you. No pun intended!
What about my partial plate — can’t a DDS tell them who I am?
Oh yea and my fingerprints are on file — so I guess I’m not a thug, because the prints didn’t match anyone or they weren’t run through the system lately. So why doesn’t someone push for my fingerprints to be run through the system again.
As for my family — seriously come forward and claim me. I like the temp name of Charlie T, but no matter how bad my past was, I’d much prefer to be properly identified.
What about you! Do you recognize me? Was I your neighbor? Your class mate in school years earlier? Your co-worker or employee? Anyone?

Thousands of people in the United States have died and we don’t know their names. They are America’s Unidentified.
Can You Identify Me? (CYIM) is a nonprofit dedicated to America’s Unidentified.
You probably know by now that thousands of people have died in America and we don’t know their names. They are labeled John and Jane Doe. Some are buried in pauper’s graves; some remain on shelves in coroner’s offices throughout the country. They are America’s Unidentified.
Can You Identify Me now accepts donations on their website.
They provide free forensic art for law enforcement throughout the country. They have also launched a media program both on and offline that has a vast network of hundreds of thousands of views for these unidentified victims.
While dedicated to America’s Unidentified this experience differs from others. It’s not just the facts ma’am. CYIM gives each Doe featured in a narrative a temporary name, restoring each Doe’s voice for a moment. Let’s identify them.

Wow , I hope someone claims him .
So his finger prints are on file? Does that mean they were just put on file when they found him or [and this is where it's confusing] are they on file with a Dept of Justice?
Glad to see more of CYIM. I first became aware of a similar program out of Nevada. Nevada has a lot of transients and more than a few have died without information on them.
Sites like CYIM and http://www.doenetwork.org/media/news46.html helps to bring people home.
and at http://www.accessclarkcounty.net , a prominent box beseeches visitors to help identify human remains.” A few clicks — and a couple of warnings for those with weak stomachs — later, and the screen is filled with mugshots of dead people. Although, as the warning says, “no decomposed remains will be shown” and gruesome details are digitally patched, many remain difficult to view.
CYIM does a service that may seem impossible but many folks have been identified since the onset of “john/jane doe” mug shot websites with public access because any family member could be doing research to find their missing loved one. They may do it for 20yrs and one click online helps them find their missing family.
Thanks for all the hard work.
