The decedent's partial remains were found in the Milwaukee River
by a floating crane operator who was removing pilings from the
northeast corner of the Kilbourn Avenue Bridge. The body was
disarticulated at about the waist area. Both arms and legs were
missing. At the time it was believed that the body was that of a
white male over the age of 30. It was determined where the
apartment building and room the key found on this individual
went to but it did not lead to an identification.

This skeletonized body with some soft tissue was discovered in

the Kilbourn Avenue Bridge. At the time it was believed that the
body was that of a white male over the age of 30. A key was
