Murdered Monmouth County John Doe Still Unidentified
HTML https://i.imgur.com/B3Kmdrm.jpg
The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and the Marlboro Police
Department are engaged in a cooperative investigation regarding
a murder which was discovered on April 29, 2002.
On April 19, 2002, a Marlboro family discovered a 55 gallon
steel drum which had been dumped on their residential property.
The steel drum had been originally located in a ravine on the
property which contained a small stream. The drum was moved to
the end of the driveway by family members. The family believes
that the drum was placed on their property no earlier than the
night of April 18, 2002.
On April 29, 2002, members of the Marlboro Police Department and
the Monmouth County Health Department went to the property to
remove the steel drum. The drum was found to be welded shut.
Health Department officials utilized a probe to examine the
interior of the drum and something solid was discovered. The
Major Crimes and Forensics Units of the Monmouth County
Prosecutor’s Office immediately became involved. When the drum
was opened, the body of a markedly decomposed, fully clothed
adult male was discovered. No wallet or other identification was
found with the body.
An autopsy performed on April 30, 2002, concluded that the cause
of death was multiple sharp force injuries including a stab
wound to the heart. The manner of death was determined to be
homicide. It is believed that this decedent had been dead for
approximately one month.
Numerous clothing items were discovered on the body. They are
described as follows:
A short sleeved red, white, blue, and yellow striped golf type
shirt with an inner tag reading Chaps Ralph Lauren and a size of
XL. The words Chaps and Ralph Lauren are printed randomly all
over the shirt.; Carhart utility or carpenter style jeans the
size of which is 34×32; A pair of ankle high Chukka style black
Timberland boots size 9 ½ wide; Hanes Jockey shorts, size 38;
and A belt with a 3 prong belt buckle.
The decedent’s height was 6 feet and his weight is estimated to
be between 140 & 150 pounds with a thin build. The decedent’s
hips were very narrow and his fingers were long. Eye color was
not discernible due to decomposition. Hair color is believed to
have been dark brown or black and one quarter to one half inch
in greatest length. Composite Sketch shows what the decedent
might have looked like alive.
The decedent is believed to be a male of Hispanic/black
admixture or white/black admixture. Age is estimated to be
between 18 and 34.
A postmortem dental examination was performed. This examination
revealed 16 upper and 16 lower adult teeth. The lower teeth are
crowded in front. There are two large spaces between various
upper teeth but there is no space in the middle. There is
evidence of regular dental care.
Police have obtained a fingerprint from the decedent which is
suitable for comparison. The fingerprint was launched through
state and national fingerprint data bases with no matches found
to date.
A Forensic Anthropologist with the New Jersey State Police has
examined available evidence in the case. Based upon that
examination, a composite sketch of what the decedent may have
looked like was prepared.
Investigation has provided police with a basis to believe that
the decedent may have been from central or northern New Jersey
or one of the five boroughs of New York City.
Anyone with information concerning this matter is urged to call
the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit at
732/ 431-7012 or 1 800/ 533-7443 (toll free) or the Marlboro
Police Department at 732/ 536-0100
