The unknown person usually presented himself as “Volodymyr Oliynyk”, a name he had been using as a false identity. All indications point to a homeless person with an alcohol addiction problem. He was also known as “Valery”. At the time of his death he was wearing a brown t-shirt, blue athletic pants and brown athletic shoes and socks.
