''NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Inside an office of the New York City Medical Examiner dozens of clay faces are perched on shelves. They're the faces of people whose skeletons have been found in New York City, but whom have never been identified. The facial reconstructions represent what the people may have looked like when they were alive.

Eyewitness News Investigative Reporter Kristin Thorne sat down with members of the Medical Examiner's Office to go over some of their most challenging anthropology cases - the cases represented by the faces in their office. They're hoping to identify the individuals.''

This medallion was found on the body that was found rolled up in a carpet by the old Flushing airport. It's believed the individual died between 1990 and 1999.

Oh Dotr thanks for posting this video it’s nice to know they are not giving up on these people and still working on finding out who they are!

Dr. Adams in the video is talking about they have DNA and everything for the unidentified cold cases. I wonder if this means for this particular John Doe too and they used it and came up with nothing?

They think this person might be a bodypacker (carrying/smuggling drugs in his body, mostly travelling on international flights and mostly smuggling cocaine and heroine) Let's theorize a bit on that. So he made it through the customs, met up with the traffickers in a cheap hotel room or somebody's place, somewhere near the airport? to wait for the drugs leaving his body and he died during the process, OD-ed basically. Depending on if all of the drugs left his body by then, possibly cut him open to get the rest and dumped his body in the approx. neighborhood of Flushing airport. As far as I could find Flushing airport wasn't in use since the 1980's (@madamx is this correct?) It could mean he wasn't American but from abroad and landed on the international airport LaGuardia approx. a 7 minute drive to where he was found.

Abstract​

We reviewed all 50 body packer deaths in New York City from 1990 to 2001. The majority (37/50) of deaths were caused by acute intoxications due to open or leaking drug packets in the gastrointestinal tract. The number of packets recovered ranged from 1 to 111 (average 46). The weight of the combined packets ranged from 9.4 to 1,200 g (average of 377). The age ranged from 19 to 57 years (mean 37.1). The decedents were: 82% male, 66% Hispanic, 24% Black, and 10% White. The manners of death were 47 accidents, 1 homicide, 1 natural, and 1 undetermined. The causes of death included 42 acute intoxications, 5 intestinal obstructions/bowel perforations, 1 gunshot wound, 1 intracerebral hemorrhage due to hypertensive disease, and 1 undetermined. Of the 50 decedents, 42 were transporting opiates, 4 cocaine, and 4 both opiates and cocaine. There were 9 deaths from 1990-1995 and 41 from 1996-2001. Of the 41 deaths between 1996 and 2001, only 6 involved cocaine. In New York City there has been an increase in body packer deaths from the early 1990s to the late 1990s. Along with this increase is a marked predominance of opiate body packer deaths with few cocaine deaths.

map of location from Namus
Google Maps

Here is a little bit of info and photos where the body was found, its sort of creepy.... and actually not Next to La Guardia Airport the Map is wrong on Namus. Its actually across the water to the East.. on Linden Place and 23rd Ave Next To College Point Fields by Mill Creek Google Maps

FLUSHING AIRPORT Part 1 - Forgotten New York this link shows a much better idea of what the place looks like

It's definitely creepy knowing that this person was documenting where the body was but was unaware of it.
