On February 23, 1982, at approximately 10:00 a.m., the partially decomposed body of a human male was located by state highway workers in a wooded area along 1-95 near exit 98 in Hanover County Virginia.

The body was clothed in a blue/green T-shirt, white sweater, underwear, brown socks and brown cowboy boots. The victim was also wearing a gold chain with a gold crucifix, a "Seiko" wristwatch and an 18K gold wedding band. The wedding band was engraved with, "LUCY 4-14-75" and what is described as a jeweler's mark, "TJI".
