Can you help identify this John Doe?
Our cold case database is in danger of no longer being maintained.
The decedent's partially articulated skeleton was found by a pest control inspector at the Thielan Tanning Company under the 27th Street Viaduct. The skeleton was found outside and had been sheltered by steel plates that were leaning against a wall. The man was wearing a pair of scrub pants from the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex. The pants were too large for him and investigators do not discount that they may have belonged to someone else. It was learned that the Milwaukee County Mental Health facility destroys records after one year if a person simply walks away. A copy of the anthropological exam is available. Many hand and foot bones missing, sternum absent.
