Man Remembers Nothing Of Life Before 2004 Attack
SAVANNAH, Ga. -- A database of missing people known as the Doe Network lists a curious case: unlike most everyone else in the network, this man’s whereabouts are known, but his identity is not.
On Aug. 31, 2004, Benjaman Kyle was found unconscious behind a Burger King in Richmond Hill, naked and beaten. His wallet and all his identification were missing, and when he came to, so was most of his memory of the past 20 years.
Kyle adopted the first name Benjaman, with the unusual spelling, because he believes that is his true first name, and the last name, Kyle, because the initials spell "BK" – the same as Burger King, where he was found.
Moving through life with no memory, Kyle has pieced together a few threads of his past before 2004. Landmarks around Indianapolis and Boulder, Colo., indicate that he might have grown up in Indiana and perhaps went to school at the University of Colorado. Despite not having any memories of friends or family, Kyle still retains extensive knowledge of the restaurant business, but without a Social Security Number, he is unemployable.
Kyle, who is believed to be about 60 years old and now lives in Savannah, hopes his story and his missing persons report on the Doe Network might help him piece together the rest of his life.
