On 10 November, 1997, a man with longish brown hair and brown eyes, approximated to be in his late thirties, checked into the Super 8 Motel in Aiken, South Carolina. He paid for the room in cash and didn’t give his name, explaining he wanted to “leave all that behind.” Later on in the evening, the mysterious man ordered a pizza to his room but didn’t answer the door when it arrived. A “Do Not Disturb” sign was hanging on the door along with a handwritten note which read: “I’m not responsible for the consequences.”

A few days later, his dead body was discovered in his hotel room. He had committed suicide but authorities did not mention how. No identification could be found inside the hotel room and a bottle of anti-depressants was found, although the label had been ripped off in an attempt to conceal his identity. An investigation uncovered that the anonymous man had been in a local hospital weeks prior following a failed suicide attempt. He had given his name as “Jeffrey Daniel” and provided a Social Security number and also a New York address; all of which proved to be fabricated. His true identity still remains unknown.
