Found Deceased TN - Marcus Rutledge, 23, Nashville, 8 Jun 1998

[eoyste]

Marcus was identified as UP16916, a John Doe found in Nashville in 2010. But, he was listed as white and with an unhelpful age estimate of 20-100 years. I posted a screenshot instead of a link, because the NamUs page will go down in the next few days.

I hope they are able to locate the rest of his remains! I wish the hunter had left what he located at the original location.

It seems like Marcus's remains were found only 34 minutes from his apartment.

And only about 18 minutes from the apartments where his car was located. I wonder if Marcus knew anybody who was living in those apartments? I would hope the police looked into that at the time, but there also wasn’t any real indication of foul play so maybe it was overlooked…

MOO.
