Overview

On July 16, 1980, a Markham resident made the grisly discovery of a person's remains on the side of the Eleventh Concession, north of Steeles Avenue.

Forensic testing found that he was a white man between 25 and 40 years old when he died. He stood at roughly 5'6", weighed between 100 and 120 pounds and had dark, medium-length brown hair.

Despite many appeals for information, police have been unable to identify the deceased man for than four decades.
