BOULDER — Advocates for an amnesia victim who has been trying to find his identity for nearly five years and has stray memories of being in Boulder have received about a dozen solid tips on who he might be after Colorado news outlets recently reported on his plight.

Several people who spent time in Boulder in the early 1980s have said they remember the unknown man working as a manager at Round the Corner, a former Boulder restaurant that had three locations, including one on University Hill.

Colleen Fitzpatrick, a forensic genealogist who has been helping the man since February, said none of the tipsters remembered the manager’s name, but several people independently remembered him working there. The man himself has said he has memories from the Hill eatery.

“It was so weird,” Fitzpatrick said. “So we are also in touch with the (restaurant) managers now.”

The unknown man — who goes by Benjamin Kyle — was found at about 6 a.m. on Aug. 31, 2004, naked and badly beaten behind a Burger King in Richmond Hill, Ga. Managers found Kyle, who had no clothing or wallet to identify him.

Kyle was rushed to the emergency room, where he said he remembers nurses joking that they couldn’t call him John Doe because they already had one. They called him “Burger King Doe” instead — and, eventually, the fast-food chain’s initials inspired the moniker that Kyle now goes by.

Kyle said he believes Benjamin is his real name, and he thinks he is about 60 years old.
