Dead Man Still a Mystery

Regina, Saskatchewan (Canada):
They know almost everything about him -- except his name. Through countless hours of investigation and details provided by a fellow traveller, Regina's Insp.
Ken Black and other police officers have been able to build an extensive profile of a young drifter whose troubled life ended abruptly in July 1995 when he lay down in front of a train. Investigators know what he looked like and that his neatly cut hair, close shave and penchant for eating with a napkin across his knees probably put him in a social class above that of a drifter. They know he was between 20 and 30 years old, enjoyed Stephen King novels and liked discussing politics.
They believe he had recently broken up with a woman named Kathy and was probably on his way back east, where he'd come from. But the most important detail eludes investigators and prevents the cold case from being closed.
Regina's police, along with Saskatchewan's chief coroner, called a news conference yesterday to release a computer-generated photo of the man created recently by a forensic artist in Toronto. The hope is that someone, somewhere will come forward with an identification.
