The victim is suspected to be an itinerant railroad worker. Authorities have speculated that he may have been one of about 80 Navajo who worked on a Union Pacific Railroad track crew in the Broadwater area for several months, in 1979. No residents of Native American descent in the Morrill County area had been reported missing at the time, nor did the remains appear to match any missing persons reports.
