In the summer of 1936 John Doe II was found...unlike other victiums of the Cleveland torso Killer
he had more clues to his identity
in his 20s, about 5'11", around 155 pounds, red/brown hair, and blue eyes. He had 6 tattoos: character Jiggs on left calf, anchor under cupid on right calf, Helen-Paul over dove on right forearm, butterfly on right shoulder, crossed flags on left forearm, initials WCG and heart with arrow through it on left forearm

His tattoos hint that he was in the US Navy; Coast Guard or Merchant Marine seaman

His first name may have been Paul

Sketches of Unidentified Tattooed Man, Cleveland, Ohio June 1936​

Case​

The victim's head was found wrapped in a pair of trousers by two young boys close to East 55th Street bridge and near the Shaker Rapid Transit tracks. The rest of his body was found by police nude, but not mutilated, between the New York Central & Nickel Plate tracks, in front of the police building, and by an old shed. There was no blood on the ground, suggesting the victim was killed somewhere else then disposed. The coroner determined he was decapitated alive between the first and second cervical vertebrae, but he was not bound, tortured, or intoxicated with alcohol or drugs.

A railroad worker said that the head was not in the vicinity at 3:00 PM. Another eyewitness reported seeing a late-model Cadillac under the Kinsman Road bridge about 11:00 PM. It's been suggested the latter time was the dumping hour. A plaster reproduction of the man's head, along with a diagram of the kind and location of the tattoos, were made to display at the Great Lakes Exposition of 1936. More than one hundred thousand people saw the death mask and tattoo chart, but he still was not identified.

The victim, called "John Doe II" or more notably, "The Tattooed Man" because of his tattoos, is also referred to as "Victim #4" of the Cleveland Torso Murderer. Between 1935-1938, the Cleveland Torso Murderer was responsible for the murder and dismemberment of twelve transients and hobos in which only two were ever identified. Investigators believe there are additional victims. Although investigators had several suspects, most notably Frank Dolezal and Dr. Francis E. Sweeney, no one was ever charged and convicted for the murders.

"The Tattooed Man" was buried in the Potter's Field Section of Highland Park Cemetery in Highland Park, Ohio.
