face had been disfigured by some type of blows, blunt force
trauma to the face, and his hands and feet had been cut off. The
body was dumped in a briar thicket in Daviess County.
Investigators believe that this victim may have been from
another area.
The body was not decomposed, indicating that he hadn't been dead

family.

Unsolved Murder: Unidentified Man
Body found: January 7, 1990
Daviess County, Kentucky PHILPOT, KY (WFIE) - The body of a
white male was found January 7th, 1990. It was discovered 2 1/2
miles northwest of Philpot, Kentucky in Daviess County.
He was found nude in a sparsely wooded area off of Pleasant
Valley road. He had been shot six times in the head with a .22
caliber weapon.
His hands and his feet had been cut off. The victim was so
severely beaten he was unrecognizable and some of his teeth had
been knocked out. His hands and feet have never been found and
he has never been identified.
A police reconstructionist drew the picture to the left
depicting what the man would look like. He's described as 35-40
years old, 5'6 or 5'7, 125-140 pounds. He had brown hair, and
light skin with a farmer's tan.
Police say his eyes were possibly blue. The man was cleanly
shaven and there were no scars, tattoos, piercings or physical
deformities on his body.
The body was not decomposed when found, indicating he hadn't
been dead for an extremely long time. In January 2007, Detective
Juan Moorman attended a new detective's in-service at the
Kentucky State Police Training Academy.
Detective Moorman used new information learned from the training
to send a missing person teletype through National Crime
Information Center.
On January 05, 2007 Detective Moorman sent a nation wide search
utilizing known descriptors of the victim, which initially
produced 19 responses. Those initial responses were investigated
and dismissed due to the ages of those victims.
On January 31, 2007 Detective Moorman received a single response
from the Indianapolis Police Department. This response contained
information on Scott Michael Morris who was last seen on August
14, 1978. I
In February 2007, Kentucky State Police detectives Juan Moorman
and Angela Jones, and Detective Jerry Spurrier with the Daviess
County Sheriff's Office went to Indianapolis and obtained
comparison DNA samples from Morris' family members.
On Tuesday, September 11, 2007 Detective Moorman received verbal
confirmation that the previously unidentified victim was in fact
Scott Michael Morris. Detective Moorman and Detective Spurrier
are actively pursuing leads, and investigating subjects known to
have been associated with Scott Michael Morris at the time of
his disappearance.
September 11, 2007 I released to the media that Detective
Moorman had received verbal information identifying the remains
as being that of Scott Michael Morris. Further testing has
revealed the victim is not related to the Morris family, and is
in fact not Scott Michael Morris.
Morris continues to be missing from Indianapolis Indiana. This
case remains under investigation.
Anyone who has information regarding this investigation is urged
to contact the Kentucky State Police at 270-685-3927 or
270-826-3312. Anyone with information wishing to remain
anonymous can call the Owensboro-Daviess County Crime Stoppers
tip line at 270-687-8484.
Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1000.00 for information leading
to an arrest.
