Agency:NCOUC - Group 3
Case Type:Missing or Unidentified Person
Case Details:The Northampton County John Doe (2020) case involves the discovery of an unidentified male's remains on the eastern shore of Smith Island in Cape Charles, Northampton County, Virginia, on April 29, 2020. The individual is estimated to have been a male, possibly of multiple or undetermined race, with an estimated age range of 18-25 years. The remains were found in a remote, marshy area, with an estimated postmortem interval (PMI) of approximately 65 years, suggesting the individual may have died around the mid-1950s. The condition of the remains and the extended PMI likely indicate significant exposure to environmental elements, complicating identification efforts. Key details such as the cause and manner of death, physical description (e.g., hair color, eye color, height, weight), and distinctive features are currently not available in the case file. No clothing, accessories, or personal items were noted in the provided information.
