Around 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 26, Oklahoma City firefighters were called to a field near NE 50th and Sooner Rd. after a caller reported seeing a couch on fire.
When firefighters arrived, they found a body on the burned couch.
A week later, police released a sketch of the victim, asking the public for help in identifying him.
