Sacramento, California John Doe - What if my name really is John?

 

Are you familiar with the Sacramento River in Isleton, California? Back in February 2002, the levee water dropped several feet. No big deal, right? Well, for one fisherman back in February 2002, it was a big deal when he saw my human remains banging around on the riverbed.

On February 18, 2002, after receiving a call from the fisherman, the Isleton Police Department found my remains on the riverbank near Hwy. 160. Some of my limbs were missing (two arms and one leg), but it was not certain if that was due to nature or ill intent.

It has been determined that I was a Caucasian male 25 to 35 years old. I stood 5'2" to 5'8" tall, but my weight is unknown. I had a full head of black hair. Upon further examination, they learned that I had previously suffered  fractured toes, a fractured pelvis, and most likely had a herniated disc.

About one month prior to them finding me, I was decked out in my favorite Wrangler jeans and blue print Hanes underwear. I also wore my kickass black Nike tennis shoes. Now, if memory serves, I started that day with a shirt. However, when my day ended, heck, when my life ended, it’s possible I was not wearing a shirt. Then again, it could have just washed away for the month I was underwater in the Sacramento River.

You’re probably wondering if I was killed or if I committed suicide. Well, you’ll have to keep wondering, or make your best educated guess. Don’t forget my missing limbs. Right now, they need to figure out who I am before they can figure out what happened to me.

The next time you see the Sacramento River, remember me!

ANNA DOE - Can I Come Home Now?

My mom kicked me out of the house...or at least that was what one of the last people to see me alive says I told him. But I s'pose I should stick to the stuff they know first, huh? Okay.

On April 27, 2002, my body was found behind a strip mall (not far from the campus of Arizona State University) in Tempe, Arizona. The coroner said that I was between 15 and 19 years old, of either Hispanic or Native American descent, stood about 5' 1” tall, weighed 125 pounds and had dark hair (12.5 inches long) and brown eyes. I had an 'L' shaped scar on the back of my left hand and another scar on my shoulder. I was wearing a red tube top-type halter, blue jeans with a side zipper and eyelets along the waistband, blue underwear, white crew socks and black shoes (size 6.5 with 3” wedge heels). There was a purple hair elastic around my wrist and faded purple nail polish on my nails. The cause of death was found to be acute cocaine intoxication.

So...who was I? One clue that was found was a CD case that was lying near my body. A fingerprint on the case led them to a woman who told investigators that her boyfriend has possession of that CD case – and that he'd been in Tempe the previous night...which they believe was the night I died. When the boyfriend was questioned, he stated that he had seen me by the side of the road and gave me a ride. He told the investigators that we spoke to each other only in Spanish and that I told him I'd just been kicked out of my house.

After riding around a bit this other guy got in the car. He was a drug dealer. He gave me some drugs. There is a rumor floating around that the two guys, the one who picked me up and the drug dealer didn’t “indulge.” Almost immediately (or so they claimed), I went into convulsions. Instead of taking me to a hospital or calling for help, these guys pulled over behind the golf store at the strip mall...and dumped me out of the car. Nice guys, huh? Then the driver (you know the woman’s boyfriend) he dropped the dealer and told him to call 911!

So there you have it – the only 'story' the police have to work with. Did my mother really kick me out of the house? In any case, after 8 years, I would say that it's high time I got to finally go back home!
