"Eugene" the quotations make it sound like they have no clue what his name actually was and just started calling him that after the 8th straight month walking by his corpse

"Eugene was found dead by the side of the road on the 3-C Highway (U.S. 22) in Sabina, Ohio, 6-6-1929 and the deceased had no identification on his body except for a piece of paper in his pocket with a Cincinnati address written on it that turned out to be an empty lot. The police questioned a man that lived next to the lot and that man's name was Eugene. That is how this dead, middle aged black man was thusly named "Eugene" by the police. Littleton Funeral Home of Sabina, Ohio made available his remains for public viewing from 1929 through to 1964 (held in a small building behind the funeral home) in hope that someone would come forth to identify this man. Eugene remains an open case and his identity has never been solved. His stone marker simply reads, "EUGENE", Found Dead 1928, Buried 1964. This man is not a mystery to God and may he REST IN PEACE. Note ~ the original grave stone has been replaced with a new stone that has the correct date of death, year 1929" --www.findagrave.com

So probably Jesus came back, was killed in a hit and run and no one could identify him for 40years

That reminds me of that story of a really noob robber who died in his first rob attempt, and was then _if I recall correctly_ used as an example in a science museum, then "lost" and then used as a prop in some sort of ride (hence a lot of urban legends). He was buried more than 100 years after his death.

I know the story of what you're talking about... it was on a Drunk History episode, wasn't it?

I know it from a French channel called Epic Teahcing of the History, but it's very probable as it's easily marketable for youtube.
