Seeking Assistance to Identify Skeletal Remains

The Fulton County Medical Examiner is seeking assistance to identify two cases of skeletal remains found in recent weeks.

Case 12-0079

These remains were found near Paines Avenue and Pike Avenue in Northwest Atlanta on January 11, 2012. The decedent is thought to be a White male, possibly of American Indian or Hispanic mix, approximately 5 feet seven inches tall, and 30-45 years of age.

Circumstances indicate that he probably died in year 2010 or after and probably was a smoker. A syringe was found suggesting diabetes or drug abuse. There is indication that this man had a broken nose and fractures of the face in the past, and one finger on the right hand was permanently bent at a 90 degree angle (probably the middle finger or ring finger). The man was clad in a pair of Nike "Skeet" model shoes, size 9 1/2, and a pair of camouflage pants. A Honda automotive key was also found with the remains. Multiple teeth showed metal fillings.

Below are the shoes found with Case 12-0079 (Above)

Case 12-0107

These remains were found near Feldwood Road in College Park on January 16, 2012. They are thought to be those of a female approximately 30-45 years of age, and approximately 5 feet 6 inches in height. The condition of the remains did not allow for evaluation of teeth or race. An "Element" brand wristwatch and a pair of Nike "Dart" shoes, size 8 1/2 were found with the remains. Based on the manufacture date of the shoes, the decedent probably died in 2008 or after.

Below are the shoe and watch associated with case 12-0107
