May 28, 1998 Gadsden Alabama John Doe



On May 28, 1998 Fishermen found a  partial skeleton of a young man in the Coosa River near the Dub Parker Boat Docks in Gadsden, Alabama. He had been murdered with multiple wounds. He had both entry and exiting bullet wounds, he had sharp force trauma to the base of the spine and right hip. There was also evidence that he had been burnt. It's believed he was there months to a year.

This John Doe was an African American male believed to be between 17 and 21. He was 5'6 to 5'9. There is no estimated weight, eye color, or hair. His mandible and some upper teeth could not be found. It did not seem he had any dental work. Four of his upper teeth were fractured which could had resulted from a traumatic injury or using his teeth as a tool like for example opening bottles with his teeth.

There are no DNA or Finger Prints available. Dentals are available.
