On April 6, 2006, the skeletal remains of a man were found at the base of cliffs above Henry Hudson Drive within the Palisades Interstate Park in Fort Lee, New Jersey. He was estimated to be between 44-64 years old and approximately 5’9” tall with light brown hair and a scar above his left eye. He was missing an upper front tooth and had previous fractures to his face and right ribs. There was evidence of bone fusion in his left hip, possibly causing him to limp. The man most likely suffered from arthritis and back pain due to several collapsed and fused vertebrae.

A black and silver Field and Stream watch and a silver Pierre Cardin watch were found with the remains.

If what they found were ‘skeletal remains’ of a man who had been dead for ‘years,’ —estimated at two years—how could they know that he had a scar above his left eye?

his skull likely had an imprint where the scar was.
