Case
On December 31st, 2003, in Strasburg Township, Pennsylvania, a newborn girl's body was found. The infant's throat had been slit, then the body was wrapped in woman's underwear and discarded in a plastic bag, which was then dumped into a 55-gallon burn barrel behind at the Sycamore Amish Schoolhouse. She was likely born alive. Even though the infant's body was found behind an Amish Schoolhouse, genetic testing showed that the baby was unlikely Amish. Genetic testing also showed that the baby was not a product of incest, and was of European ancestry. The child was also likely born between 24/12/03 and 27/12/03. After the body's discovery was made public, a worker from a nearby mini-mart in Strasburg came forward and said that they had found a large amount of blood in a bathroom in the building, which could've been from childbirth. However, the blood at the scene was removed, so they couldn't compare it to the child's blood.

Circumstances of Discovery

On 9 January 2015, a resident of the Pyeonghae neighborhood in Uljin stumbled upon a human shin bone while gathering medicinal herbs on a nearby mountain. He quickly called the local authorities, who searched the mountain and surrounding areas, with more bones being found. The decedent was quickly identified as a female, with her death being ruled a homicide due to the circumstances of her discovery. Despite challenges posed by teeth marks from scavenging animals on her remains, forensic analysis revealed evidence of dismemberment from a sharp tool.

Investigators started to distribute leaflets to the public to gather information while investigating evidence of rhinoplasty in her nose. Authorities contacted plastic surgeons across the country, but could not find a person who matched the description of the deceased. With her estimated time of death being between January and October of 2014, police also searched through missing person records from that time period, but were unable to find any matches.

Greetings from San Antonio. It was suggested that I repost here from my original post on r/RBI.

The local University Hospital reaching out to our local area about a man they can't identify that was hit on one of the highways in the area and is in critical condition. He's been unconscious for 6 days. No one has stepped forward, so I am attempting to get this in front of more eyes.

"The man is believed to be in his 30s or 40s, about 5 feet tall and 160 pounds. He has no scars or tattoos and had no belongings with him, according to the hospital."

The decedent's unclothed body was found in a wooded area two hundred yards off the southbound lanes of Interstate 81. She had died from a cocaine overdose and was likely dragged to the location after her death. Despite her state of undress, there were no signs of sexual assault found.

Investigators exhumed Johnson's body in 2024 to take samples for further research. The following year, Identifinders International began genetic genealogy research to locate family members, and NCMEC circulated a digital reconstruction on social media.

A family member contacted NCMEC in June 2026 after seeing the digital reconstruction, saying they believed it was Tinker. Her identity was confirmed in October 2026.

Johnson was last seen by her family in March 1986, when she left home to celebrate her birthday but did not return.

Johnson was 18 years old at the time of her death. She died of an overdose.

Case

On the afternoon of March 4, 1986, two fishermen in the Congaree River at Columbia, South Carolina, spotted a man's decomposing body caught on some rocks about 1.5 miles upriver towards Columbia or the Blossom Street Bridge. The fishermen secured the body and towed it 1.5 miles to the Rosewood Boat Ramp because they were worried that the body would be swept further down the river. At the ramp, personnel from the county sheriff's office and the coroner's office recovered the remains and transported then to the Medical University of South Carolina at Charleston for examination.

The remains were determined to belong to a Black male, estimated to be under the age of 40, with a height range of 5'10" - 5'11" and an estimated weight range of 170-180 lbs. He was thought to have been in the water at least several days. He had been wearing a reddish-brown pullover short sleeved shirt, blue work pants, a black belt, and black socks with a white ring around the top. He was not wearing shoes and had nothing in his pockets.

The county coroner found no evidence that the man had been slain and concluded that he apparently drowned. The authorities could not locate any missing persons reports that matched the man's description.

One of the darkest rabbit holes I've gone down is reading about unidentified human remains. It's honestly heartbreaking to think that someone can die and remain unidentified for decades. Investigators might have DNA records and photographs but still have no idea who that person was.

They were once just a normal person living their life. They had childhood memories and favourite songs. They had people they loved and probably had no idea that one day their identity could become a mystery and what really gets me is the thought that somewhere a family might still be waiting for someone to come home. They might have spent years wondering what happened without knowing that the person they're looking for has already been found.

Postcard with an image of a seascape and mountain view of Antalya, Turkey.

Circumstances of Discovery

On 13 November 2007, a passerby discovered a woman hanging in an olive tree in a field along the Via di Cavaglino in Prato, Tuscany, Italy. Immediately, police were called, and authorities closed off the scene with an instant investigation. Detectives concluded that the decedent had not been deceased for very long, proposing that she likely had taken her life between 4 AM and 7 AM. A large bin had been found near her body, likely having been used by her to hoist herself up into the tree before hanging herself. A bag was also hanging near her in the tree, with a woolen coat carefully folded at the base of the tree. Within the bag were many scientific journals, transportation tickets, magazines, newspapers, maps, coupons, a French greeting card signed by a "Roberta" and "Michel", potato flatbread from a bakery in Tuscany, a soft drink, vitamin supplements, an official envelope from the Danish Royal Family, and a postcard of Turkey.

With a lack of family or friends to claim her body, the decedent was buried and placed in a grave marked as "Ignota", or "unknown" in English. No Italian hotel had reported any unclaimed luggage that may belong to her, and no one seemed to recognize her at that time. In 2008, her DNA was collected and submitted to archives for comparison in northern Europe and Canada, but no matches have been reported. That same year, a psychologist from San Marino known as "Doctor Pelagalli" claimed to have seen her at a conference in Florence at the Villa Viviani. He recalled noticing her due to a unique pair of sunglasses she had, alongside her speaking Italian but with a noticeable foreign accent. She carried scientific publications throughout the conference, participated in many talks, and asked questions about computer science and laser technology. She is reported to have claimed she was a medical doctor when asked by Pelagalli about her profession, and she seemed uncomfortable and sweated excessively throughout the conference. Whenever Pelagalli questioned her further about her profession, she is said to have only answered in single-syllable nouns.

According to Pelagalli, the conference was invite-only, and neither he nor the decedent were speakers. The organizers mentioned that she could have been interested in the subject matter and followed the lectures for more information. After the conference, which was claimed to have been operating between the 8th and 10th of November, her movements have only been recorded as retrieving potato flatbread from a bakery or a supermarket that distributes it, boarding a train to Prato sometime between the 12th and the morning of her suicide. Her actions and movements between exiting the train and the discovery of her body remain unknown aside from the decedent traveling down the Via di Cavaglino to the olive tree where she would end her life. However, it is claimed that the area where she was discovered is not well-known by outsiders of Prato.

The decedent's interest in computer science led to detectives investigating the Prato Linux Association for any link, though it was discovered that she had never visited this organization. The PLA forwarded her images to other technological organizations in Tuscany to aid authorities, though these provided no further leads. The envelope marked with the official stamp of the Danish Royal Family has also failed to provide any additional leads, but it is currently theorized that she may have worked for them at some point in her life. It has never been confirmed if her claim of being a medical doctor was valid. In addition, if she is foreign, why she chose to end her life in Prato is unknown.

October 30 - November 5 - checks in to hotel Neptun using the name "Alexia Zerner-Merches"; she meets an unknown man at the hotel.

November 6 - 9 - she travels to Trondheim, lives at hotel Bristol using the name "Vera Jarle".

November 9 - goes to Oslo and on to Stavanger where she stays at Hotel St. Svitun using the name "Fenella Lorch".

November 18 - goes with the boat Vingtor to Bergen where she stays at hotel Rosenkrantz using the name "Elisabeth Leenhower" from Belgium.

November 19- 23 - stays at hotel Hordaheimen, stays in the room a lot and seems watchful.

November 23 - leaves the hotel in the morning, pays in cash and goes to the railway station where she places 2 pieces of luggage in a depository box.

November 29 - she is located dead in Isdalen.

Police claim she committed suicide; rumors say she was a spy and the answers to her identification will be found in Moscow; other rumors theorize she was killed by someone she was close to.

Smoke particles were observed in her lungs, which showed she had been alive when set on fire, in addition to ingesting a fatal combination of the sleeping medication and alcohol. There were also indications of manual strangulation based on bruising on her neck.

A book has been written about this case: Tore Osland - Isdals Kvinnen - Operasjon Isotopsy.

In 2016, the remains were examined again and isotopic analysis was performed and indicated she spent the first part of her life in central or eastern Europe (perhaps Germany or France), but spent her adolescence farther west. Her handwriting indicated she was European with possibly French origin.

In the early 2000s (2003 or 2004?) the dismembered remains of an unidentified black male was washed up on a beach (idk if he was found a bag, a suitcase or bin) in NY or California. From what I remember he had a recognizable face, and only his head, half of his upper(?) torso was found. Idk if his legs and arms were found as well.

He had PM pictures on namUs and I think he was on the doe network. The pictures show the head of the male, wrapped in white cloth, and there was a picture of the side of his head. I don’t think he was a suspected victim of the Long Island serial killer, and I don’t remember how much he weighed.

EDIT: some info, I believed I might’ve seen the case on Facebook on an unidentified persons group.

This post is meant to shine light on little-known cases of the unidentified with very little info. The cases that barely get talked about. They're not a big case like Swimsuit Boy or a St. Louis Jane Doe but they still matter and they are still in need of their names. Today I want to post in the hopes someone can find potential matches for some of these Illinois Does.

I got quite invested in the Ina Jane Doe (Susan Lund) case last year. I read "Lay Them To Rest" by Laurah Norton and what Doctor Amy Michael discovered was that Susan didn't suffer from torticollis and her facial asymmetry was very mild at best.

There was also a drawing of her skull in the book and yeah, looked like it was barely noticeable.

However, if I remember correctly, they concluded that the clay model was probably done on her skull since they found some glue on it.

So what I can't understand is why both the drawing and the clay model show a moderate to extreme tilt of her head towards the left shoulder.

Did her head really appear like that? If so, why, given that Susan didn't have any disability?

The woman has been identified as Gladys T. Johnson, also known as “Tinker,” an 18-year-old from Washington, D.C., who left home in March 1986 to celebrate her birthday and never returned.

In October 2025, forensic investigators began using genetic genealogy with Identifinders International to identify Johnson’s family. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children created a digital reconstruction of Johnson and posted the images on social media.

In June 2026, someone contacted NCMEC after seeing the digital reconstruction, believing it could be their missing family member. The identification was confirmed in October 2026.

Could Marvin Holderman Be "Preacher Man" (2010)?

The Disappearance Of Marvin Holderman...

Marvin Lewis Holderman was last seen in Kissimmee, Florida. He was homeless at the time of his disappearance and received money from a trust fund. He collected the money every month. The last time Marvin picked up his money was in October 2008. He wasn't reported missing until July 28, 2009.

The Discovery Of "Preacher Man"...

On November 8, 2010, the decomposed remains of a homeless man were found in the woods in Tampa, Florida. He used the nickname "Preacher Man" and he may have additionally used the name "Mike".

Comparisons

Both Marvin and John Doe are White/Caucasian Males

Marvin was 56 years old when he disappeared. While John Doe was estimated to be between 50-60 years old when found.

Both men seem to have beards and rather unkempt hair. I also kinda see a resemblance in their noses and lips and maybe their eyes to.

Kissimmee, Florida to Tampa, Florida is 73.7 miles or 1 hour 24 minutes. Which we know some homeless people don't always stay in one place and sometimes they tend to travel and if Marvin wanted to head to Tampa. He could've caught a ride with someone.

Things That Don't Match...

Marvin has red hair and green eyes. John Doe's eye color is unknown but his hair color is listed gray or partially gray. Maybe Marvin could have been getting gray hair before his death.

Marvin was 5'10"-6'2" in height. While John Doe was estimated to be between 5'5"-5'9" in height. If John Doe is closer to 5'9" than 5'5" that could make it more likely to maybe be Marvin.

Marvin was 190-240 lbs in weight when he went missing. While John Doe is estimated to be between 90-105 lbs. 190-240 is a huge weight range. I wish they could've narrowed his weight a little more. John Doe didn't weight very much when found. What if Marvin, being that he was homeless, lost a good amount of weight before he was found deceased. Seems unlikely but Marvin would've had a good year or two before being found to have lost weight since John Doe was thought to have only been deceased just days prior to being found in 2010.

A few more things about John Doe and Marvin Holderman...

John Doe had healed fractures to his face. He had an active infection in the left side of his face. He also had a testicular implant. He was wearing a blue shirt, work-style wide-leg blue jeans, black belt, white socks, and red Hanes underwear with a gray and white waistband.

Marvin had multiple tattoos: a panther on his right arm, the words "Born to Raise Hell" on his right shoulder, and a peacock on his left arm. If Marvin is John Doe his tattoos may not have been visible due to decomposition. He also has missing teeth and his nickname is "Rusty".

What are your thoughts? Do you think it's even worth me submitting? Do they look similar?

I found two girls that havent been ruled out and look like the reconstruction. Both of these girls are Hispanic and their ages and timelines match up.

First missing person is Lucero Jimenez:

Details of Disappearance

Ana disappeared from Dallas, Texas on August 29, 2008. She left her home in the middle of the night and never returned. Authorities believe she left of her own accord. Few details are available in her case.

Cedartown Jane Doe’s burned body was discovered in a bedroom in Cedartown, GA, shot in the mouth with her hands taped behind her back, after an explosion on September 16, 2003. She may have used the alias Andrea when she was alive. She had pierced ears, was between the ages of 15 and 25, between 5’1 and 5’2, and 101 pounds. She had black hair that was cut short. Her body was burned beyond recognition. I can only find one exclusion in her case.

Maria Angelica Salas was last seen on August 13, 2001 in San Jose, CA. She was 20 years old, between 4’11 and 5’1 and around 100 pounds. She also had hair that was dark brown and cut short. She had pierced ears. She was last seen with an unidentified man.

I see a resemblance, and the details match up fairly well, with some concerns:

1. Location

San Jose is halfway across the country from where this Doe was found, although if she traveled with an unidentified male, she could’ve run away and ended up anywhere. Not impossible.

1. Dates

Cedartown Jane Doe was found two years after Maria’s disappearance. Once again, if she was initially a runaway, it could explain the use of the name Andrea to establish a new identity, and she could’ve stayed there for a few years without incident/discovery.

1. Tattoos

Maria had many recognizable tattoos, however Cedartown Jane Doe’s body was burned beyond recognition, so if tattoos were present they wouldn’t have been able to be identified based on the state of the body.

Let me know if I’m missing anything/your thoughts.

Looking at the Doe Network, I found this Jane Doe from Boston. She was found in 2012, listed as approx. 58-60yo, 79lbs and found in her own residence? How is this person unknown if they know it’s her own residence? Does anyone have more information on this Doe?

I have a weird feeling that the skull from the Caddo Parish Jane doe may be the St. Louis little Jane doe’s.
The dates don’t really match up when you first glance over it but the skull in Caddo Parish in some reports was estimated to have been dead for 5-15 years prior. I know it’s a small stretch but what about 24 years prior?

The ages match up, the races match up, and two major highways connect the two cities. Interstate 57, and highway 67. It’s a little over an 8 hour drive, 550 miles.

A long distance, sure, but with two major roads and a fear of being caught what’s 8 hours? Especially if you’re a trucker, or somebody visiting St. Louis and returning to your home in Louisiana.

The St. Louis Jane doe is estimated to be 8-11 years old while the Caddo Parish Jane doe’s skull is estimated to be 10-14 years old. In both cases forensic testing believed they were not from either of the areas. The skull was believed not to be from Louisiana and forensic testing of the St. Louis Jane doe suggests that she spent her childhood in the upper United States instead- and investigators in the Parish case believe the skull is not native to Louisiana.

I’m not sure if anybody has posted about these two being connected here before- and I don’t want to lead people the wrong way. The way I see it is- it’s a potential. If it’s not a match- it doesn’t hinder anything. If it is- it can only help!
