KENOSHA COUNTY -- After going unsolved for more than three
decades, state-of-the-art technology helped Kenosha County
authorities break the case involving a John Doe homicide victim
from 1988. Authorities announced during a new conference on
Wednesday, July 17, that the man was positively identified as
Robert Lyle Schwartz -- born Jan. 16, 1944.
When a highway survey crew discovered his decomposed body in a
shallow grave in Pleasant Prairie, there was no way of knowing
his identity would take decades to uncover.
"It bothered me," said Larry Lapoint, original case detective.
In July of 1988, "John Doe's" body was discovered near I-94 East
Frontage Road -- and the present day Highway 165. His death was
ruled a homicide by strangulation.
"We just kept hitting the bricks, trying to find out what
happened," said Lapoint.
Detectives produced a sketch of what they believed he looked
like, but with no missing person's report ever filed -- and tips
that didn't pan out -- the case went cold. That's until 2017,
when new fingerprint technology became available.

The Wisconsin State Crime Lab then analyzed those prints, and
made the positive identification of Robert Lyle Schwartz," said
Kenosha County Medical Examiner Patrice Hall.
Authorities spent two more years putting the rest of the pieces
together. The only picture they located of Schwartz alive is a
California booking photo, where he served time for grand theft.
Relatives confirmed to authorities Schwartz went missing in the
late 80s, but "believed his lifestyle had caught up to him."
"When I spoke with the family, they described him as a con
artist," said Hall.
Relatives said Schwartz sold shares of silver bullion for phony
certificates.
The day Schwartz was killed, authorities say he had flown into
Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
"We believe he was strangled in one of the parking structures at
O'Hare and transported up here and buried," said Kenosha County
Sheriff David Beth.
It is believed Schwartz didn't have any ties to the area. Still,
after all these years, the case was important to close.
"Being able to give somebody their name back is beyond
gratifying for me," Hall said.

Authorities said they identified a suspect in the case, but he
died during the investigation. They are not releasing his name
yet.
Meantime, the Kenosha County Medical Examiner said she was
optimistic the technology used to crack this case would help
solve others.
“The sheriff’s department makes every effort to investigate all
crimes, but these cold case unsolved homicides are particularly
significant to the victim's families and our department,” said
Sheriff David Beth. We continue to look for new technology and
techniques to resolve these cases. The sheriff’s department will
continue to strive for the closure of the remaining cold
cases.”[/size]
