Cold case: Unknown man, Roxburgh Park

Help Victoria Police identify an unknown man who was located deceased in Roxburgh Park in 1995.

www.police.vic.gov.au

''It’s a mystery that has plagued Homicide Squad detectives since 1995 – the body of an unidentified man dumped on a cold dirt road in Roxburgh Park.
The man was found lying in long grass in the North Point Business Park, near the Cliffords Road side, on the morning of 1 May 1995.
Two members of the public had been driving on the road, about 1km north of the intersection of the Hume Freeway and Somerton Road, when they saw the body about 10am.
The men subsequently contacted police and detectives from the Homicide Squad attended the scene.
The man had been severely beaten and suffered a number of stab wounds to his upper body.
He was described as:

• approximately 25-35 years of age
• Caucasian
• 179cm tall
• solid build (89kg)
• medium length brown hair slightly receding
• brown eyes
• medium complexion
• a scar under his right arm, and
• wearing a navy-blue jumper, grey Nike t-shirt and shorts.

The man had no shoes or jewellery on and wasn’t carrying a wallet or phon

A number of public appeals were subsequently conducted in an effort to identify the man. This led to a member of the public coming forward to say they had seen a man fitting that description outside a home on Sorbonne Drive in Sunbury – 17km away – about 6.40pm on 30 April 1995.

They told police the man had knocked on the door of the property, however the householder closed the door and called emergency services. At the time the man had severe facial injuries and was bleeding from a head wound. After calling police, the householder returned to the front door, but the injured man had disappeared.

Over the past 30 years, an exhaustive investigation has been conducted by the Homicide Squad in an effort to identify the man and determine who was responsible for his death.

As far as police have been able to establish, he has never been reported as a missing person.

His fingerprints and dental records have also been checked over the years in Australia and internationally, to no avail.

In May 2000, police issued a reward for anyone with information that could help identify the man and this reward remains on offer.

A reward of up to $50,000 will be paid at the discretion of the Chief Commissioner of Police for information leading to the identification of the man.

In 1995 and 1999, investigators released two computer generated images of the man in the hope someone recognised him and could provide information about his identity. A new colour image of the man has been produced in 2025, which is more detailed and provides the best possible likeness.''

Hi guys I know this is random and unlikely to be solved but I was scrolling through some Australian cold cases and I found this one of a man who was unidentified and his identity still hadn't been found. I just thought that was really sad so I'm reaching out to you in hope of finding his identity I have found a few websites but they don't help much.

Please help me to find his identity I want him to rest in peace as a name not a number. So I'm asking you to do whatever you can to help me find who this man is. Then I can leave it to the police to solve it or come back here. Also I don't care at all about the reward I don't want it I just want him to be found.

I hope this case can be solved and the body can be identified. And that whoever is responsible for his death will be brought to justice if they are still alive it has been thirty years after all.

'For 30 years, a man found lying dead on a dirt road in Melbourne’s north has been known only by a number: 1238/95.'

''Other people in the neighbourhood saw the man walking the streets near Sorbonne Drive the night before he was found dead.
It “baffled” police nobody reported him missing in the 30 years since, Homicide Squad Detective Sergeant Sol Solomon said.''

''Police believed the man was attacked close to Sorbonne Drive before his body was dumped. At one point, he was seen lying on the ground, then being helped to his feet by an unknown person in the area.
“He stood out because it was a cold, wet night, and he was only wearing shorts, a top, no shoes or socks,” Det Sgt Solomon said.''

He looks Middle Eastern, maybe Iranian or Afghan in the recons.
