Another article indicating the medical examiner thought the body was a white male 5'4-5'6 based on the shoes. Article clipped from The Kalamazoo Gazette

Here's a newspaper article on the finding. It appears they thought there was more than one person in the vehicle. https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-monroe-evening-news/191995842/

The belt buckle looks more like it reads "Sinaloa" to me. I searched Fry's Food Stores and they have multiple locations across Arizona. I would assume the membership card was unreadable or a dead end.

Some more information here, mostly on her children. It's a tough read. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/02/07/cold-case-sibling-reunion-howard-county

Hi Diane, that John Doe was ruled out via dentals, I'm not sure why it hasn't been updated on Namus yet.

Found this newspaper article from October 15, 1992. Description seems to match, though he is referred to as Joe Martin Riley in the article. https://www.newspapers.com/article/anchorage-daily-news/189481730/

Does anyone think it would be beneficial to contact the Watch and Clock Museum in Lancaster County, PA? They do take research requests, but it's $40. Research Requests - National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors, Inc.

Hi all, so I misunderstood that there was another doe that could possibly be Farren, here's the correction from Chris just so we are all on the same page. "Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know so there's no confusion: The Doe that they believed was linked to Farren was #UP5901 (Attic...

Hi all, Our friend Chris is still working away behind the scenes with @AirForceVet24 and I just wanted to share an update from Sgt Rand in Grant County, Oregon: "We thought the body they found in an attic near by where he was living was Farren but the dental records did not match. We also...

I looked up the college and found this Historic Auraria - Auraria Campus. In 1965, there was flood, so I wonder if he attended prior to 1965 the records may have been lost.

The Namus Case File is pretty bare, but the Clark County Coroner has more case details that make me think this could be an easy solve. Date body found: Skull found 4/5/1981, additional remains found 4/25/1981 Location found: Las Vegas desert near Black Mountain Biological sex: Male...

Mine, too! I know that I and many on this thread would love to see his case resolved.

Oh wow, is that John Doe on Namus? Do you know how they were linked?

Nevermind, figured it out! Farren has 1 exclusion from Oregon and the rest are from Virginia. The 2 UIDs have zero exclusions.
