Case Details

NCOUC - Group 3

Missing or Unidentified Person

The Petersburg John Doe case involves the discovery of a single tibia bone found in the Appomattox River near Magazine Road in Petersburg, Virginia, on February 1, 2019. The remains are believed to belong to a male, estimated to be between 16 and 20 years old at the time of death, though the race and other demographic details remain uncertain due to the limited remains recovered. No clothing, accessories or identifying information was found with or near the remains. The lack of additional remains have made determining cause or manner of death, estimating year of death or post-mortem interval extremely challenging.
