By
CHARLESTON, S.C. - A body found in the surf on Folly Beach has been identified as a 29-year-old native Kenyan. <br> <br> An FBI fingerprint check revealed that the man is Moses Mungai, Charleston County Deputy Coroner Bobbi Jo O&#39;Neal said Friday. <br> <br> His body was found July 23 in shallow water at the south end of the beach. His fingerprints were found in the FBI&#39;s national database. ``He had been arrested in the Atlanta area, but I don&#39;t know what for,&#39;&#39; O&#39;Neal said. <br> <br> Mungai had come to the United States a few years ago to attend Kennesaw State University in Georgia. He disappeared about three months ago, along with his roommate&#39;s car, O&#39;Neal said. <br> <br> ``His cousins and his roommate had no idea where he went,&#39;&#39; she said. <br> <br> Mungai worked temporary jobs and stayed at the Good Samaritan Mission in North Charleston until shortly before his death, O&#39;Neal said. <br> <br> O&#39;Neal is still trying to reach Mungai&#39;s parents in Kenya, where most of his family lives. She expects to work with the family to have Mungai&#39;s body returned to Africa.
