The It's April 6, 2015. The skeletal remains of a man are found in an abandoned house in Granville, Sydney.

It's a strange story and one I wanted to speak about as there are plenty of people out

there that might find themselves in a similar situation.

So this is the story of Roger Joseph Davies. He was born on the 16th of February 1970 and his early life was spent in South Australia.

He had two known relatives, a brother Damien and a sister Chantal.

Chantal described her brother as a drug user and had no stable address.

Chantel went on to say that Roger never married and to her knowledge he had no children.

Police records did not contain any reference to children, although in an application for housing

support, Roger stated he was paying fortnightly child support support but did not identify the names of any children.

Roger's adult life was not easy according to police and hospital records.

The clinical notes record him living at that time at an address in Ermington.
