About this Case:

John Doe was found on March 4, 1982 on the north side of Colorado Highway 160 near mile marker 270 (near Le Veta Pass, about 14 miles east of Fort Garland). The individual was partially skeletonized and frozen in ice from the waist down. Due to the conditions of the remains, the individual is unrecognizable. The male is approximated to be between 20-30 years old. He has curly black hair approximately 15cm in length. He was found wearing a red and black plaid wool long-sleeved button-up shirt with western style scalloped flaps on the front pockets, a white ribbed tank top undershirt, black knit dress trousers (Lenshore brand) with a black fiber belt, and white knit sport socks. Near the body were a pair of black leather shoes with leather laces size '5 EE' with 'Leather upper, manmade insole, Made in Poland' printed on the inside, as well as a a wrapper from 'Hall's Metho-Lyptus Cherry Cough Tablets'.
