FLEMING ISLAND – The Clay County Sheriff's Office began investigating circumstances surrounding skeletal remains found May 7 near the bulkhead of a private residence on the St. Johns River on Fleming Island.


In cooperation with the District 4 Medical Examiner's Office and with the assistance of the community, the remains were identified as Nicholas Lamont Anderson, 24, of Atlanta. Anderson’s family has been notified of the identification.


While this is a considerable step forward in this investigation, CCSO detectives are still seeking information about Anderson and the circumstances leading up to the discovery of his body, specifically, the persons he encountered, his activities and places he visited from April 1 to April 7.
