On a spring day in 1975, someone discovered the body of a young man on the East Bank of the Cuyahoga River by Merwin Avenue near the Center Street Bridge in Cleveland.

Here’s what we know about the man we’re calling Merwin Ave John Doe.

He was African American, about 20 years old, 5′10″ and weighed about 165 pounds.

He had black hair and brown eyes.

And he had no tattoos or piercings that could help identify him.

Unidentified: Man found dead in the Flats remains a John Doe nearly 50 years later

His case is one of 109 unidentified John and Jane Doe cases across Ohio.
