The Man on the Moor

On the 12th of December 2015, a cyclist riding along the Chew Track at Dovestones reservoir near Saddleworth Moor discovered a man lying on the path that he believed was having a rest. On closer inspection he discovered that he was actually deceased. The man had no ID or clues to his identity except some train tickets and a medicine bottle. For 13 months the man was not identified and the police and the public were equally perplexed by the discovery.
