On December 9, 1982, an unidentified male was found on the banks of the Escatawpa River under the Interstate-10 bridge in Moss Point, Jackson County, MS. He had been deceased for approximately 6 months, possibly up to 3 years. The male was black and in his late teens to early twenties. He stood approximately 5’6” tall, weighed between 130-170 pounds. The male’s hair color and eye color could not be determined. An anthropological exam showed a healed injury on the front of his head, which would have left a scar on the left side of his forehead. The male had a strong overbite and had fillings in several teeth. He also had advanced periodontal disease. The exam indicated that he was most likely left handed. The male was found wearing brown slacks with a 28” waist and 30” inseam. He was also wearing a faded Hawaiian themed sport shirt. A Converse right shoe with red trim on the sole, size 7.5, was also found. The left shoe was not found. The image above is a facial reconstruction provided by Forensic Artist with the Eden Project and depicts what the male may have looked like in life.

Thoughts? Just a note that Jackson County John Doe was found in the same town as "Delta Dawn" Jane Doe just four days earlier. That case was posted on In Pursuit with John Walsh's Facebook page a little over a month ago: amwfans.com/thread/8713/delta-dawn-jane-mississippi-1982
Despite the incredible coincidence, Unidentified Wiki says the two cases are likely not related, as Jackson County John Doe had actually died months or years prior to Delta Dawn.
