DNA: Unknown
Clothing
- White, nylon "Taymor" brand backpack.
- Synthetic, powder-blue "K-Way" brand windbreaker (Size 6).
- Grey, cotton sweatshirt.
- White, cotton "Daniel Hechter" shirt.
- Synthetic and leather, blue webbed belt.

- World War I era .38 caliber revolver. Stolen from Las Vegas, NV in 1983.
Circumstances of discovery
On August 12, 1987, Whistler Mountain Ski Corporation planners Dave Williamson and Rod MacLeod are surveying a potential lift-line near mid-station, hanging flags, and doing fall-line analysis when they spot the skull of a man, 15 meters off of Franz's Run on the west face of Whistler Mountain, BC. Williamson claims to spot fillings in the skull's jaw.
No abandoned vehicles were found nearby, and making the two-hour uphill walk from Whistler village to where he was found was not an uncommon thing to do.
The gun that was recovered near the body was traced back to a 1983 theft that occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The man was also found with a single South African Rand bill in his pocket.
