The following reconstructions were created and photographed by Laboratory Scientist Amy Michaud at the Michigan State Police Crime Laboratory in East Lansing. They were produced by placing clay onto the actual skull of the victim. These renderings should resemble the victims as they appeared during life. If you think you have any information which may be of help in identifying these people, please contact the authorities at the end of each section, or leave a comment or tip in the guest book at the end of this page. This page will be updated with new reconstructions as they are created so please check back regularly. The more people that see this page, the better, so please add this page to your favorite links.

| In September 1995, Wayne County Sheriff's Department personnel recovered the skeletonized remains of an adult male from the bank of the Rouge River near the intersection of Edward Hines Park Drive and Middlebelt Rd. in Westland, MI. The Remains were associated with a green T-shirt(42-44 Large). The skeleton displays several old, healed injuries. A number of years before death, the lower jaw and skull were fractured; the upper and lower front teeth were lost; four of the middle left ribs were fractured; the right shoulder bones were fractured and fused; and the anterior left hip was fractured. A small piece of lead was imbedded in the rear of the left hip bone, indicating that the person survived a gunshot also many years before death. The person probably died between 1990 and 1995 and the remains may have entered the Rouge River at a point upstream from Hines Park. | |||

| a John Doe that was found north
of Newberry
Exact location was 0.2 miles south of Lake Superior and 1.2 miles WSW of Little Lake Harbor near the Blue hiking trail. Chippewa county Whitefish twp. Subject was found October 24, 1987 Information from examination by Dr Sauer, Visual observation and metric analysis indicated his ancestry
was European.
The skeleton displayed a number of pathological lesions, some of which may have been related to a single incident. The left femur displayed a healed rotational fracture which had been treated with a metal rod implant. Alignment was good and the trauma might not have caused later problems. The injury probably occurred when the individual was an adult. Possibly related to the same accident were injuries to the left side of the face and nose. The left cheek bone and orbit displayed comminuted fractures. The left side of the face was depressed posteriorly and the left cheek bone displayed a mass of exostosis (bony growth). The bridge of the nose displayed severe fractures. Possibly the injury to the tooth occurred at the same time the left side of the face was injured. The spinal column displayed a moderate amount of scoliosis. A possible old fracture was noted on the right clavicle. The remains were probably deposited during the summer or spring of 1987. The clothing suggests moderate to warm temperatures. EVIDENCE FOR PERIMORTEM TRAUMA The soft tissue was examined for perimortem trauma. All of the skeletal elements were dissected and macerated to remove soft tissue and examined for perimortem trauma. No injuries to the skeleton of soft tissue that may have been related to death were noted. The examination of human remains, M.S.P. #82-1102-87. The reconstruction was done by Sgt. Steve Spink.

Officers discovered the skeleton, of Oakland County Medical Examiner's Case # 99-2839, Unknown Female # 10, in a wooded area 100 yards south of Lake Angelus Road. The Oakland County Sheriffs Office Crime Lab responded to the scene and conducted an investigation.

Dr. Kanu Virani, Chief Deputy Medical Examiner examined the remains of Unknown Female # 10 on September 13, 1999. He listed the cause of death to be Undeterminable. Efforts to identify Unknown Female #10 included the Michigan State Police, Questioned Document Unit, Michigan State University, Richard Merrit, of the Natural Science Department, Dr. Allan Warnick, Odontologist, Michigan Dental Association, Western Michigan University Anthropologist, Tal Simmons and countless hours of investigation on the part of the Pontiac Police Department and the Medical Examiner's Office. Lastly, Glenn Miller of the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It is estimated that death would have occurred at least 4 to 9 months before the body was discovered.
