The Stafford County Sheriff's office has released a photo of a unique tattoo found on a body discovered in a wooded area of Fredericksburg in hopes that someone can help identify the slain man.

A sheriff's deputy discovered early Saturday morning the body of a man off River Road near Route 3, in a wooded area near the Rappahannock River.

There were signs of trauma to the body, police say. His death is under investigation as a homicide.

Police released a photo of a unique tattoo on the man's arm. It shows a woman "shushing" with her finger over her lips, a blindfold over her eyes and ears with a design featuring Roman numerals, police say.


The tattoo could be referencing the adage, "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil," police say.

In a video posted to Twitter, the Stafford County Sheriff's office also asked anyone to report suspicious activity they may have witnessed, including a car parked overnight along the road.

The police non-emergency number is 540-658-4450.

Aside from the tattoo, police refused to release any identifying details about the victim pending notification of family.

There's a young man missing from Fredricksburg, VA named Jacob Butterfield, who has a lot of tattoos, but not this one as far as I can tell.

Found Joseph McCaulley missing from PA. Appears to have a tattoo in the correct place, but I can't make out what it is. https://www.wearecentralpa.com/news/logan-township-police-looking-for-missing-man/1828763368

I think you are right, very difficult to see.. looking for social media presence.. I would pass it on though..

No, can't be him. He's been found safe. Twitter

Do you think I should send him in? I wanted to see a pic of the tattoos a little clearer before I wasted the police's time.

I agree with Shin. I don't think it would be a waste of their time. It looks very similar. imo

The tattoo seems to be an attempt to recreate this:

The overall idea behind the tattoo is not uncommon, but there are certain markers that make me think this one in particular was what the artist was going for.

I asked Jacob's cousin on Twitter if he has any more tattoos than the ones shown, and she said he does, but none that would be easily visible with his clothes on. I am absolutely not going to show her that picture. Do you guys think I should send the possibility in to the police or...?

 

[KaylaraOwl]

I don't think it's him honestly. The police there should be aware of his missing persons case, Jacob is missing from about 4 miles away as far as I can tell, and they haven't mentioned any other tattoos. Surely they would have checked that out already.

Just double check if the same agency is handling it.. since LE didnt release too much info, can really assume anything..

 

[KaylaraOwl]

Looking into it. I'm going to be adding Jacob to namus this morning.

His family members are aware of this murder victim and LE is aware of Jacobs case. If it were him they would have known and LE would not have released this image.

I was about to post that the tattoo art is a form known as "chicano art" which is usually a sign of latino heritage. I'm glad he's been identified. So young. Too young.
