CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The FBI and the National Park Service are asking for the public’s help in an investigation into the discovery of a body along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina last year.

A news release from the park service says workers received a report on Oct 9, 2021 of a body near a parkway overlook.

Investigators identified the victim as 33-year-old Josue Calderon of Rhode Island.

An autopsy conducted by the State Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Calderon’s death was a homicide.

Officials are hoping the public saw a 2018 silver Chevrolet Equinox traveling between Raleigh and Blowing Rock in early October.

If you have information to help, call FBI Charlotte at 704-672-6100 or the National Park Service tip line at 1-888-653-0009.
