Grady asks help to ID patient By PATRICIA GUTHRIE Journal-Constitution Published on: 01/13/05 Grady Memorial Hospital officials are seeking the public's help to identify a critically ill and unconscious patient who has been receiving care for almost three weeks. He is described as an African-American male, about 60 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 140 pounds. The man was found Dec. 24 in an abandoned downtown Atlanta house at 168 Vine St., said Denise Simpson, Grady spokeswoman. He was wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans. The man was found passed out and suffering from hypothermia and he remains unresponsive, Simpson said. Metro Atlanta was experiencing unusually low temperatures — plunging below freezing — during the week the man was found. Atlanta police were not able to identify the man through a fingerprint check, Simpson added. Anyone with information is asked to call Grady Social Services Department at 404-616-5331. www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/atl...05/12grady.html

Do you know this woman? Cops hope facial reconstruction leads to I.D. 12:39 PM CDT on Wednesday, September 29, 2004 By Jeremy Desel / 11 News Reporter This face is the center of a mystery. "Once we know who the person is, then we can pick up the investigation from there," said Det. Mark Schmidt, with the Harris County Sheriff's Office. An evidence technician's gift could provide investigators the lead they're looking for. Just having a face to look at is a huge step forward. Last October, Harris County Homicde detectives were called after two women, digging up soil in a vacant lot, found what appeared to be human bones. After two trips to the site, they had found a nearly complete skeleton of a female, estimated to be between 23 and 38 years old. They think the victim was between 5-4 and 5-8. But investigators have had little else to go on. "There was the remains of what appeared to be a T-shirt or a tank top," said Schmidt. "The only writing that was visible on it was in regard to Garner State Park." There's also the question of a date. Forensic pathologists, who have analyzed the bones, think they had been there at least three years, and possibly 15 years. But Schmidt has looked all over the state for missing persons cases that might match and had no luck. Schmidt said that without an I.D., investigators are basically dead in the water. "We really need to get her identified," he said. That's where Gail Mills comes in. She's an evidence technician with a gift. She uses a technique that measures facial features from the skull and then uses that to sculpt the face with clay. "You want to bring them to life and just pray that someone sees something and comes forward," she said. Investigators hope the public will take a close look at the face and provide them the break they so badly need. www.khou.com/news/local/stories/kho...n.204aafec.html

Sheriff Hopes Skull Will Crack Cold Case Of Man's Death Whetsel Hopes 3-D Facial Reconstruction Will Lead To Clues UPDATED: December 16, 2004 OKLAHOMA CITY -- Although they started with very little to go on, the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department said Thursday that they might have their best tool yet in an investigation into the cause of a mysterious death. Sheriff John Whetsel said investigators need the public's help in identifying the face of a man who is depicted in a new three-dimensional reconstruction that is based on an unidentified skull. The skull was found in 1998 near Triple X Road and Southeast Fifth Street in Oklahoma City. Although the case has been cold for a number of years, Whetsel said he believes that someone has a valuable clue that could lead to a cause of death. He said his department has made notable progress since a hunter found the skull, a bone fragment believed to be part of a leg bone and clothing nearly seven years ago. "It was one of those cases where they went as far as they could go at the time," Whetsel said. "There was very little information. This is basically all they had," Whetsel said. The skull was recently used to render a face, thanks to the work of a police artist. Whetsel said authorities believe the face belongs to the skull -- but it doesn't match any report that the county has on file. "The person may have been from here in the state," Whetsel said. "A report may have been filed and just put back someplace and never entered (the national database). It may have been that no one ever reported the person missing." A T-shirt found along with the skull and bone fragment is a Cheyenne-Arapaho ceremonial shirt that commemorates a tribal summer festival held in 1991 near Concho. A coat, jeans and a pair of size 9 hiking boots were also found near the sparse remains. Whetsel said the only physical clue they have from the corpse is that the skull was missing three teeth. However, he said that doesn't appear to explain anything about how the man died. "There is a mystery because we have the majority body gone, and the part of body we do have has no signs (of trauma)," he said. "The person could have died of a heart attack or could have died from a gunshot wound to the torso." Sheriff's officials said Wednesday that a forensic anthropologist has determined the skull to be that of an American Indian male between the ages of 30 and 55. The anthropologist's report estimated the remains to be between three and five years old. Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department. www.channeloklahoma.com/news/4003918/detail.html Attached thumbnail(s)
