The National Park Service is asking for the public’s help after a Rhode Island father of two mysteriously turned up dead in North Carolina.
Josue Calderon, 33, was found Oct. 9 along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Blowing Rock after a park visitor alerted officials to the sight of a body.
“An autopsy conducted by the North Carolina State Medical Examiner’s Office determined cause of death to be homicide,” the National Park Service said in a statement.
Calderon was found near the Yadkin Valley Overlook, according to the National Park Service. (Google Maps)

Calderon’s family said he didn’t own a car and aren’t sure how he ended up more than 800 miles away from his home of Providence, R.I., according to WLOS.
