One-Eyed Jack Doe



There are many reasons on why someone murders. Sometimes it’s for money, out of passion, or jealousy. The reason that Jesse Burt Bishop murdered One-Eyed Jack was because he thought that he was being annoying.

This John Doe had acquired the nickname One-Eyed Jack due to him missing his left eye. He also wore an eyepatch, but there was a a large white marble with orange coloration found with him. It’s believed that was used as a fake eye. The murderer was not sure, but believed that the victim's name may had either been Jack or John.

One Eyed Jack was picked up by Boise Idaho by Bishop who was heading to Alaska. The hitchhiker told Bishop that he was heading to Pendleton, Oregon. Once Bishop mentioned that he was heading to Alaska Jack asked his he could go along and the two headed together there. While going through Canada the victim got on his nerves. Bishop killed his victim soon after coming into Alaska and left his body in the woods along the roadway.

Bishop stated the victim had an Oregon driver’s license. He was a white male was around 32 years old and approximately 6 ft and 165 lbs. The victim had long dark hair and wore a headband. He was missing his left eye and wore an eyepatch a large marble was found in his pants and it had an orange coloring to it. The victim is more than likely from the Northwest area of the U.S.

Bishop thought the victim had been hurt during a logging accident from a choker cable in Oregon. Bishop also stated that he thought the victim worked for a Lincoln car dealership washing cars in either Colorado or Utah. At one point the victim said that he had been married.

Bishop didn’t know if any of the information he had was accurate as he claimed that the victim lied to him quite a bit.

Anthropologist provided that the Bishop was accurate about describing the man. He was white male between 25 to 35 years-old with brown medium curly hair and was approximately 5'11.

It is possible that One-Eyed Jack did not settle in one place. With the information that Bishop gave with him being in Oregon, Idaho, possibly in Colorado and or Utah and then making a split second decision to go to Alaska with a complete stranger it could be possible that he did not settle in one place. He possibly lived a nomadic life. He was initially heading Oregon and if his license was from Oregon and he acquired his injury from Oregon then it’s possible that he might be originally from there or spent a significant amount of time there.

Jesse Burt Bishop died in the 2000’s before his victim had found his name.

Dental and Fingerprints are available.
