STAFF REPORT | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 14 years, 9 months AGO
Based on a King County medical examiner's office assessment of the skull, forensic artist Natalie Murray drew this sketch of what she believes a dead man found near O'Sullivan Dam looked like before his body decomposed.
EPHRATA - Grant County Major Crimes detectives are asking citizens to help identify a man whose skeletal remains were found near O'Sullivan Dam on Nov. 23.
The body had been exposed for perhaps a year, and ID was difficult. It is believed to have been that of a white or Hispanic male around 35 years old. He stood between 5-1 and 6-1.
The remains were sent to the King County Medical Examiner's office in Seattle. It was determined the unidentified man was the victim of a gunshot, but the circumstances were unknown.
The victim's teeth were in poor condition. The two front teeth had silver-colored caps, and one of those teeth was broken below the cap.
The victim was wearing multi-layered clothing, including:
- Phat Farm long sleeve t-shirt.
- Phat Farm short sleeve t-shirt.
- Route 66 dark denim pants, waist size 28.
- Insulated vest, tan and orange colored.
- Size 8-1/2 black shoes with Velcro closures
- Black stocking cap.
Anyone with information that could possibly help should call Detective Kim Cook at 754-2011, ext. 471. Or you may write to [email protected].
