You don’t know Jack!!! Jack Doe

You don’t know my name. You don’t know who my family is. You don’t know where I’m from. You don’t know exactly when I arrived here. You don’t know how I got here. You don’t know what happened to me. You don’t really know anything at all. Or do you?

You know I’m dead. You know that I was found on April 22, 1998. You know that I might have been dead for up to five years before you found me. You know that I was found in a field behind a truck stop near I-55 and Rt. 53 between the towns of Bolingbrook and Romeoville, Illinois. You know that I was a white male, twenty to thirty years old, with brown hair, who stood 5’11 and weighed 160 pounds. You know that I have distinctive overbite. You know that I was wearing an extra large blue nylon Starter jacket, blue jeans and size 9-91/2 Nike shoes when I was found. You know that I was shot. You know that I have identifiable dentals and DNA on record for comparison. You know that I’m an unidentified John Doe. And you know that I’m just one more unexplained and unsolved statistic on the books.

Like I said you don’t really know anything at all.



UPDATED 2014: Gene Sullivan of the Cold Case Unit in the Coroner’s office asked the University of Indianapolis Forensic Anthropology to update all of their cases. In doing so it was determined that this John Doe is not Caucasian, but instead is African American.

CHARLES DOE – Where Am I?

The bottom of a 25-foot embankment near the Long Path Rest Area, Bear Mountain State Park, 1/4 a mile east of State Route 6. Town of Woodbury, NY, Orange County is where volunteers found fully dressed skeletal remains.

On May 3, 1998, the Ramapo Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club while volunteering near the Long Mountain Rest area of Route 6 found those skeletal remains wrapped in plastic. Like I mentioned, the deceased was fully dressed.

The full dressed skeleton was wearing:

• A black t shirt with the design of a rainbow leading to a pot of gold, inscribed with Follow Your Dreams.
• A blue zippered sir Jac Jacket.
• Blue or black jeans with 32 inch waist and a 32 inch inseam.
• Blue boxer shorts
• White low-top Pony sneakers

And had the following items:

• Hair pick,
• French/ English dictionary,
• Metal nail file
• Yellow “Bic” lighter

An interesting side note is that the low top pony sneakers were out of style. Maybe the deceased didn’t know fashion. But turns out the rest of the world knows fashion because everyone keeps mentioning those shoes. Maybe it’s a clue to who this person is.

Turns out the skeletal remains belong to a black man, twenty five to thirty five years old. He stood anywhere from 5’6 to 5’11 feet. That’s a pretty large range on height. But what do I know? Also it’s noted this guy was knock kneed. It’s estimated this skeletal guy could have been lying around there since 1985.

Here’s the most interesting fact about this guy, he had been shot to death. Okay that’s not really interesting, but he was killed by two different caliber guns. I guess there was more than one assailant. That sounded like an interesting fact to me.

So this fully dressed skeletal guy remains unidentified. You think I’m disrespectful for referring to this man as skeletal remains? Good because these skeletal remains belong to me and I think it’s disrespectful to be unidentified!

I’ve now been dubbed Charles Doe and Follow Your Dreams Doe and John Doe. But it’s time to find my real identity. A name that’s not too much to ask for is it? Well not just any name. Seems everyone is ready to give me just any name. No, I want my name. Here’s another clue if you didn’t notice above. I had a French/ English dictionary.

 Alright you now know the details the rest of the world knows. So how are you going to be different than the rest of world? How about you help me? Find my identity and that will make you different!

I'm not a high diver! So who am I?

For the purposes of this blog you may call me Mr. Bailey. Unfortunately, no one can tell me who I am. As for me, I can no longer speak in the conventional method.

My remains were discovered on August 19, 1998 in the Mississippi River near the Huey P. Long Bridge. For anyone not familiar with the area that is in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. I had been in the water about two days when discovered.



I was approximately 45 to 55 years old with extensive dental work. I assure you I was no vagrant. The only clothing identified with me is a pair of shorts, but no specifics were provided on those shorts. I'm thinking I was shot during my sleep, this would explain why I was only wearing shorts.

Why am I not a high diver? Just let me say I've never spent my time off diving. Yet, the authorities believe I may have fallen off a high cliff. I say pushed. I'm unclear that is how it happened. I may have been tossed off a large vessel. One thing that is very clear is the gunshot wound to back of my head and trauma to my body. Did I shoot myself? I'd say NOT! So who did?

James "Jamie" Doe: I'm a child looking for my parents. Are they looking for me?

Bust by Frank Bender 2/8/10

No one knows who I am. Do you?

I am about 10 to 11 years old, or that's how old I was when they found me in the brush. I guess I was there near the edge of that wooded area for a couple months before someone found me.

On September 25, 1998, some guy cutting the bushes around a billboard found my skeleton. It was near Interstate 85 in Hillsborough, Mebane, North Carolina.

The cops that investigated my death said I was just dumped there. The bad people who dumped me didn't even cover me up or anything. I'm only 10 but I think that SUCKS. What did I ever do? Could I have been that bad that you would kill me and leave me on the side of the road like unwanted trash? I was just a kid!

Important Stuff To Know About Me:
I'm a male, white (maybe Hispanic or mix), 4'11, weighed 50 lbs, brown hair, with unknown eye color, about 10 to 11 years old.

They found a pair of Fox Polo Club brand khaki shorts, underwear and white tube socks still inside a pair of black, size three athletic shoes. There was no mention of a shirt.

Additional Facts To Know:
The Newsobserver reported that this case was to be featured on America's Most Wanted, but the 911 happened. This blogger couldn't find a record on AMW.com that shows this case was or wasn't featured. Chances are it wasn't.

The Doe Network reported that I "had sealants on the surfaces of the following teeth: 3, 4, 13, 14, 19, 29, 30; no cavities; teeth 4, 13, 20 decidious." Also that I had $50 in my pockets, specifically "2 $20s, 1 $10."

Many theories have been bounced around about me. They say that maybe I was the child of migrant workers, possibly illegals. Something bad happened my parents got scared and had to leave me. I don't believe that happened to me. It doesn't make sense. If my parents left me there, why didn't they bury me? On those old movies I used to watch when you bury someone you love you leave a stone, I think they call it a marker. Why didn't my parents do that for me?

Maybe my parents don't know I'm dead at all. Maybe I was stolen. Maybe I made a mistake and ran away. If I did, I didn't mean to.

I think I was scared and sad. You know right before it happened, right before I died.

I want my parents to know about me. I want to know my name.

Will you help me find my name? Will you help me rest in peace? Please tell as many people as you know to view my picture and see if they know me. If they have any information call the police. PLEASE!
