SeaWorld Orlando Opens New Rollercoaster: Penguin Trek https://www.floridadaily.com/seaworld-orlando-opens-new-rollercoaster-penguin-trek/

On January 12, 1993, skeletal remains were discovered in a wooded area at the northeast corner of Heather Road and Dennis Avenue in Orlando. The victim was determined to be a white male, and the manner of death was ruled a homicide due to a gunshot wound to the head. Despite extensive efforts, the identity of the victim remained unknown for nearly three decades.

Through advancements in genetic genealogy and our collaboration with Othram Labs, we have recently identified the victim as 48-year-old Greg Carpenter. Greg was last seen alive on December 26, 1992, and was reported missing to the Orlando Police Department the same day.

We are seeking the public's help to solve this case. If you knew Greg Carpenter or have any information about his life or the circumstances surrounding his death, please contact the Orange County Sheriff's Office Cold Case Unit at (407) 836-4357 or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).

Your information could be crucial in bringing justice to Greg and closure to his family.
