This is Part 3 of a four-part MLive investigation into the killing of an unidentified man whose body was found by a 9-year-old boy on a remote Jackson County hill in 1986. The case quickly and quietly faded from public view, even after authorities ruled it a homicide. Nearly 40 years later, the victim has been identified, and police have renewed their efforts to find the killer.
