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'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's national database. ``He had been arrested in the Atlanta area, but I don't know what for,'' O'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's car, O'Neal said. <br>
<br>
``His cousins and his roommate had no idea where he went,'' she said. <br>
<br>
Mungai worked temporary jobs and stayed at the Good Samaritan Mission in North Charleston until shortly before his death, O'Neal said. <br>
<br>
O'Neal is still trying to reach Mungai's parents in Kenya, where most of his family lives. She expects to work with the family to have Mungai's body returned to Africa.
