UNIDENTIFIED
Pine Mountain John Doe
Posted by UNSOLVEDAPPALACHIA on NOVEMBER 19, 2017
On October 20, 1981, NamUs UP# 105, Case 81-F-15, was found in a
remote dump location on Pine Mountain in Letcher County, Ky. His
body was beginning to putrefy, and his clothing and all personal
items were missing. He had been stabbed in the back and
discarded. Another victim stripped of their name.
The Letcher County Coroner believed him to be between 20 and 35
years old. He had brown hair, was approximately 6’2 and weighed
around 190lbs. They suspect his time of death was within the
year of 1981. He had previously fractured and healed nasal
bones, a healed skull fracture above his left ear, and a healed
tailbone fracture.
The most disturbing thing about these cases is that someone did
this.
Someone is still out there walking around with blood on their
hands, and apparently zero conscious. For all we know, we walk
by them on our way to work or school. While shopping for
groceries. They may be taking our order for food or giving us
advice in our greatest time of need.
There have been several suggestions given to NamUs about who he
may be, but so far the only rule out that has been made is Ryan
Kemp.
Please call the Letcher Co Coroners office if you think you know
who this may be. 606-633-2129.

On October 20, 1981 the remains of a male subject were located
in a trash dump off US 119 in the Pine Mountain area of Letcher
County.
U.S. Route 119 is a spur of US 19. It is a north–south route
that was an original United States highway of 1926. It is often
referred to as Corridor G east of US 23 and KY 80 in Kentucky to
Interstate 64 at Charleston, West Virginia.
