On Nov. 11, 1993, skeletal remains were found near Gregory Canyon in Boulder County. Although initial information about the remains was released at the time, the decedent’s identification still remains unknown.

An examination of the remains indicated that they were of a Caucasian male, aged 25-45 years-old with a stature between 5’3” – 5’8.” He was wearing Levi blue jeans, a white shirt and white tennis shoes. He had shoulder-length dark blond to light brown hair. His teeth were in poor condition. He may also have been suffering from anemia.

Chemical isotope testing was completed and suggests he was born in the Southeastern United States and likely lived in southern Florida or central Texas. He did not appear to be native to Colorado.
