A mystery man awakes in Discovery Park

A man in his 50s says he woke up in Discovery Park three weeks ago with no memory of who he is or how he got to Seattle. Doctors know he is intelligent, well-educated and fluent in three languages, but they don't know how to help him. For now, he's known as Jon Doe.

The blond-haired man with the walrus mustache wandered out of Seattle's Discovery Park three weeks ago, with pressed khakis, an expensive dress shirt, a blue blazer and $600 hidden in his sock. He was uninjured — but said he was confused, lost and frightened.

This much is clear: He is fluent in English, French and German. He possesses a professorial knowledge of European cultural history. He seems to have traveled the world. And he says he is a widower.

But he said he doesn't know who he is or when he was born. Or how he got here and why. Or whether he even wants to know.

His doctors at Swedish Medical Center's Cherry Hill campus said they don't think he's faking it, but they don't really know how to help. The cops so far are stumped, too.

Today, the 50-something man with the white ID bracelet that says, simply, "Jon Doe," is scheduled to be discharged from the hospital. But he has nowhere to go, while he waits and wonders if someone out there is missing him.

"I find myself in tears that I don't know if I want the memories," he said. "But if you don't have an identity, it's very difficult to survive."

Jon Doe — he's fine just being called Jon — said he awoke in the woods of Discovery Park on July 30, groggy, disoriented and dehydrated. He had no wallet, passport or day

That's exactly what I first thought Chris. Unless he is from out of the country and they didn't have him on computer here but they could still probably send it overseas to agencies over there.
