Webb Hill John Doe has been unidentified for 25 years today.
Technically, it sounds like he’s actually been unidentified for 100+ years (DoD estimated 1917-1925).
Summary as of December 2023:
Some of the previous links are on the Wayback Machine (although frustratingly, none of the images are):
web.archive.org
Doe still has some images:
Archived story from 2004:
Still not in Namus.
The story linked above mentions LSU FACES lab did the reconstruction, but he’s not on their site, either.
The only known exclusion is Everett Ruess (via DNA).
Brief notes:
- what does “Native American features’ mean?
- teeth stained from tobacco and a heavily developed right arm from “heavy industrial work” imply an older person than “15”, imo.
- if he was a skeleton, how did they determine the size of the right arm, the lung infection, and the swollen head?
- I’ve seen him referred to as both Webb Hill John Doe and Washington County John Doe 1998.
