Circumstances
The University of North Texas Center for Human Identification –
Department of Anthropology redefined the biological profile on
this homicide victim. Based upon the revised biological profile,
a new facial approximation has been prepared by forensic artist
Michael McNicholas. The previous facial approximation was
prepared by Frank Bender 19 years ago in 1994 and remains on
display at the Delaware State Police Museum, Dover, Delaware.
Synopsis: Decomposed body found Sept. 13, 1993, off Marsh Road
near I-95 in Brandywine Hundred. Lost motorist from Baltimore
pulled over to check a map and made the discovery.
Description; 20 to 40 years old (probably 30+), 5’10”,
approximately 130 pounds and of Asian ethnicity with black 4" to
6" long and straight hair. The tip of his right ring finger
amputated.
Clothing: Ralph Lauren T-shirt, tan Bugle Boy pants that were
size 28 medium and tan leather-like shoes with rubber soles.
A seven-digit number was written in one shoe, possibly the
former phone number of a Domino’s Pizza in Brick, N.J.
Right thumb and pinkie fingers had an extra long, well groomed,
nails.
Dental: Heavy tartar and tobacco deposits. No evident
restorations or existing decay. Wear facets and heavy deposits
suggest individual was probably over 30 yrs of age.
Forensic odontology examination produced complete charting for
NCIC and NamUs. Nuclear and MtDNA profiles are currently in the
CODIS system.
Physical
Hair color Black
Head hair
black, 4" to 6" long and straight.
Left eye color Brown
Right eye color Brown
Eye description
Dark brown
Amputations
The ring finger of the right hand has an absent distal phalanx
with stump well healed. The absence is at the distal
interphalangeal joint.
Other distinctive
physical characteristics
Right thumb and right fifth (pinkie) finger had an extra long,
well-groomed nails. Circumcised male.
Skeletal findings
An inventory of the skeletal elements revealed all to be present
with the exception of the hyoid bone, the skull and the bones of
both hands. Anthropological examination of the skeletal elements
revealed them to be consistent with that of an adult male. The
post cranial skeletal traits indicative of an adult male include
the following: robust long bones with significant muscle
marking, innominates with large acetabular diameters, narrow
sciatic notches, short and
blunt pubic symphyses, an acute sub-pubic angle, and sacral
curvature.
Examination of the skull on June 13th, 2013 noted multiple
morphological traits indicative of a Mongoloid (Asian)
individual. Key morphological traits noted as Mongoloid include
a highly rounded and compact skull, keeling of the cranial
vault, rounded eye orbits, a rounded nasal aperture and inferior
zygomatic projection, and an intermediate nasal sill.
Cranio-meteric analysis corporates sex as male and classifies
the deceased as Chinese (Fordisc- National
Skeletal Data Base Analysis). Stature of the deceased based on
the maximum length of the left femur is 66.6 inches(+/- 2.1
inches-* Hispanic Males). Age at death ofthe deceased in
question is estimated to be between twenty-five and thirty years
of age based on the early phase of cranial suture of cranial
suture closure, the phase three pubic symphyses facial
morphology (Suchey-Brooks standard- mean age 28 years), and
minimal evidence of costal cartilage
calcification and pitting within the sternal ends of the first
ribs.
Detailed examination of the skull and present post cranial
elements revealed osseous fusion between the first cervical
vertebrae to the atlanto-occipital junction of the skull,
evidence of a healed fracture of the nose, and an unusual
osseous protuberance at the rhomboid fossa (impression site of
the costclavicular ligament) at the sternal ends of the
clavicles. No additional observations are present upon further
examination of the remains.
