Identity Still Unknown
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying the remains of a deceased individual. On September 19, 2007, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office responded to Burnt Store Road, near the area of Durden Parkway, in reference to the discovery of a skull and scattered bones. Investigators confirmed the remains were human.
A short time later, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office generated a composite sketch of the unknown individual. Unfortunately, the deceased individual still has not been identified. Investigators are hoping that re-releasing this composite sketch to the local media will generate information from the public that could lead to a positive identification.
According to preliminary analysis conducted by the District 21 Medical Examiner, the remains are that of a White or Hispanic male, approximately 30-49 years of age, approximately 5’5″ – 5’7″, with the estimated time of death between three to twenty years ago.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lee County Sheriff’s Office at (239) 477-1000.
