On September 24, 1908, the body of a young man was found dead 3 miles east of Lebo, Kansas on the Santa Fe train tracks. His body was in bad condition due to being run over by a train. It was believed that he was riding the rods of a passenger train or was on freight and fell off. This resulted in the train running over his body. His head and left shoulder were severed from his body. It wasn't stated on how recent they believe he died.
He was a white male and was believed to be in his teens likely around 14 to16. He had a fair-skinned and freckled complexion. He had light hair and brown eyes. He was around 5 ft tall. He had a half-moon like a scar over his right eye. He had nothing that would identify him, but he was carrying milk tickets and two tickets to an Opera in Tennessee
