Stevie Crawford (Formerly 1963 Jackson County, Oregon John Doe)


2-year-old Stevie Crawford was Identified in June of 2021 by 23&Me. Stevie was last seen in 1962-1963 with his mother. His mother went on a trip and came back to New Mexico telling family members that Stevie was taken care of. His mother has since passed and it is believed this may have been a case of filicide.

A fisherman in the Kennne Creek Reservoir in Ashland, Oregon hooked what he thought was a rolled blanket. What inside horrified him. It was the body of a young boy. It was determined he had died after October the year before. Winter's freezing temperatures could had helped preserve the body. The cause of death is unknown due to the condition of the body. It was not determined whether it was natural, accidental, or murder. The body was wrapped in a blanket and dumped in the water.

The FBI compared the boy's footprints to birth certificates of newborns born at local hospitals that may have been born around the same time. None have been found to match.

The body was wrapped into two blankets. One was an Aqua blanket and a handmade patch work quilt. The Patchwork had lots of red including gingham red squares. Two iron assayers molds were placed in the blanket with the body to help weigh it down. The molds were used fore refining and casting metal. The blankets were wrapped with old telephone wiring with lead sheath and rubber insulation were used to tie the blankets. It was found that the wiring was once common, but had not been out of date at the time.

The John Doe was a white male  around 1 to 2 years old. He may of had a developmental disability or genetic abnormality such as Down Syndrome. He was around 2'8" to 3'2" tall and 19 to 30 lbs. He has long sandy brown hair. He had eight upper teeth and eight lower teeth. one of his lower teeth bifurcated, having two roots and the surface split due to an odd groove.

He was wearing a pullover red and white striped long sleeve shirt, a pair of gray corduroy pants white an elastic waste and an adjustable belt, a cloth diaper with blue diaper pins covered with plastic pants, ankle socks, and white learner or "Jumping Jacks" shoes. The shoes were likely bought at Nobles shoes in downtown Medford and the clothes were likely from J.C. Penny.
