These initially unidentified male remains consisted only of a torso that exhibited dismemberment of the extremities and severing of the head from the neck. The torso showed no evidence of significant acute antemortem injury. The head was later recovered (NamUs UP 9826) in 2012. There was no evidence of significant preexisting natural disease processes, however, this examination was compromised by decompositional changes. Given the condition of the remains and the circumstances under which they were discovered (concealed and dumped in the woods), these features are strongly suspicious of homicidal violence.
