Eric Kohler was 21 and living with his grandparents in Port Charlotte, Florida, when he disappeared in 1995. His fate remained unknown until March 2007, when a land surveyor in Fort Myers found skeletal remains of eight men in a wooded area; those remains became known as the Fort Myers Eight.

DNA profiles from the recovered remains were submitted for comparison and, over time, families provided matches that identified three of the men. One of those identified was Eric Kohler. The other identified victims were John Blevins, 26, and Jonathan Tihay, 24, both last seen or believed to have disappeared in 1995 and not initially reported missing. Investigators have suspected a serial killer active in the area during that period and named Daniel Owen Conahan Jr., known as the Hog Trail Killer, as a person of interest; Conahan was already on death row for a 1996 Charlotte County murder.

The identifications offered some closure to families while the investigation into the remaining unidentified victims continued. Does anyone have information about Eric Kohler’s last known movements or contacts in 1995?
