A 50-something year old man says he woke up in the woods in Discovery Park three weeks ago, lost and confused, without a wallet. And without any memory of his name or how he got there. The Seattle Times spoke with him at Swedish Medical Center. “I find myself in tears that I don’t know if I want the memories,” he said, explaining he remembers bits and pieces, like the death of his wife in 1985 and a detailed memory of European cultural history. Police are working to identify him, but have few clues to work on. (Photo by Mike Seigel, Seattle Times. More here.)
Update: The Times says a reader identified him as Edward Lighthart, an English teacher who worked in China in 2005. Another reader pointed out the German website, which features a photo of Lighthart. But how he arrived in Discovery Park is still a mystery.
