On the death certificate, the coroner estimated that death occurred 18 months to 2 years prior to the body being found April 1981 in the cistern.
If the coroners estimate is correct, it would place the death having occurred between April 1979 to November 1979.
During the 1960s and 1970s, a lot of LE agencies back then didnt take a missing person report if the missing person was an adult. LE agencies simply told folks reporting a missing adult that the missing person was an adult that can go anywhere they want and LE couldnt do anything about that situation.
I took a look at the DeLorme map of the Ohio back roads. According to the map, Greasy Ridge Road & McKinney Creek Road is a rural curvy back road deep in the hills of Southern Ohio.
I think its doubtful that a semi truck would travel on a curvy rural backwoods county road away from a main highway.
I also think its doubtful someone from outside the area would be looking for a cistern deep in the backwoods to dispose of a body. I believe it had to be someone who was familiar with that area, and probably lived or worked in that area.
There have been thoughts by LE that the victim was a homeless person or was a member of a motorcycle gang based on the clothing that was worn.
Two thoughts concerning the bus ticket and the locker key comes to mind.
One thought is that the victim could have been a drug courier that came from somewhere else. Another thought is that the victim could have been escaping from an abusive relationship and/or was a victim of domestic violence.
That could explain why the body was found weighted down in the cistern and the dentals in Namus regarding the facial trauma.
Also, the Jerry Falwell commemorative coin that was found was found with the victim could indicate the victim may have come somewhere from the Bible Belt region in the United States.
