KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- On September 15, 1995, 23-year-old LDS Church member Daniel Nagy walked into the woods near his home with his guitar and disappeared. Now his skull has been found and identified, but investigators still don't know what happened.

His mother drove him to his fast-food restaurant job to pick up his paycheck, and then dropped him off at his apartment. When Daniel realized that he didn't have his key to the apartment, he told his mother that he would walk around until his roommate came home. Nagy often walked in the woods with his guitar to play without disturbing others.

A landscape worker discovered Nagy's skull on October 8th, and police assume that it was uncovered in recent flooding in the area. Over the following few days, Police scoured the area, turning up additional bones and a guitar.

After learning of the coroner's ruling, Nagy's family, including his seven brothers and sisters, held a memorial service at the LDS chapel in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. In a sense the family now has some relief from an ordeal, "Now we know he's not alive anymore. But we don't know, and probably won't know, what happened to him," said sister Lisa Nagy, 29, on Monday. She rememberd Daniel as a gifted musician, "He played piano and guitar, and was constantly composing music and playing music, and that was really his passion and where he had a gift."
