Circumstances of Recovery
On May 9, 1976, the nude body of a young white male was found,
badly burned and partly decomposed, in Bullitt County, KY. The
hands were so badly burned that processing by our lab was
impossible at that time. The hands were severed from the body
and forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Identification Unit for special processing.
A fingerprint classification was made and is as follows:
17 L 1 U III 4.
M 1 U III
In 1976, the F.B.I. ran this classification through its criminal
records file, and its military and civilian file with negative
results. Although a forensic odontological report was not made,
it was noted that the victim had the following dental
characteristics:
Old fracture of left mandible.
1st Molar, upper left, rotted off at gum.
Lower right bicuspid grown crooked in toward toungue.
An autopsy was performed on the body and no evidence of shooting
or cutting was indicated. X-ray examination did show the subject
had an old, healed fracture of the left mandudiable (perhaps
mandible). It appeared the subject had never received any dental
work.
Description is as follows: Fingerprint classification is listed
above:
