I remember reading about the Jesse Ross case.
http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/r/ross_jesse.html
Do they think he was in the water this whole time?
I don't recall if they said how old the remains could be.

Interesting. I don't think there has been any indication these remains could have been in Lake Michigan for 10 years but I hope his family has answers and closure soon.

The first post has a quote from the sheriff about some flesh and organs still attached to the skeleton. IMO, that indicates the remains could not be 10 years old.

Me, too. He seems like a nice young man.

Agreed.

This find could be very interesting in regards to missing Jesse Ross! Thanks Gardener1850 for the heads up on this case.

I was thinking the same thing. The remains appear to be relatively recent, much less than 10 years old. If it turns out to be him, I have to wonder where he has been and what he was up to for the past 10 years.

I came across a case that made me think of this UID:

Marcus Beilman, Missing since March 2016: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/36707/

"Last seen kayaking in Lake Michigan off of South Beach. His kayak was recovered on March 28 on the beach at Grant Park in South Milwaukee."

Would March to Dec be too long for the state of decomp though? I'm not sure.

Photos released to help identify decedent.

Can someone copy the photos to the thread?


Based on the sizes of clothing, I think we can rule out Jesse Ross.

Also, I noticed there is no mention of shoes being found with the remains. Struck me as odd considering the clothing mentioned is indicative of weather needing shoes.

There is a tie to Waukegan, IL mentioned in the article. The decedent purchased coffee and gas at the Thorton, but paid with cash. Seems a recon placed at the Thorton would probably be a good idea, when a recon becomes available.

Thanks for the update, Cubby
I wasn't able to ascertain a TOD from the article, have you come across it?

It looks like there is only one pic, but there are a few, including the set of keys. Dotr, can you post the rest of years pics?

Since the hoodie was actually black with red letters, it could make quite a bit of difference. Here is a key to how their branding changed over the years -

The hoodie in the photo is a 2008 or later version.

 

[Alleykins]

The keys fascinate me.
I can't remember the last time I used a trunk key or even a door key for a vehicle.

Those keys have a lot of rust on them - any possibility they were in the lake? Were any other found articles discovered to have some kind of water damage to them?
