Joseph Henry Loveless (December 28, 1870 - c. 1916), known by his middle name and Walt Cairns, was a man whose partial remains were initially discovered in Buffalo Cave, Idaho on August 26, 1979.
The DNA Doe Project announced his identification on November 12, 2019.
Background
Loveless was born on December 3, 1870, in Payson, Utah. At the age of 28, he married Harriett Savage and had a child with her. At the age of 33, he divorced her and shortly afterwards in 1905, married Agnes Octavia Caldwell and had four children.
Loveless was a bootlegger and had various aliases, including Walter Cairins/Curran/Currans/Cairns/Garron/Curnans and Charles Smith. In 1913, Loveless was arrested several times and had several warrants for bootlegging, liquor violations and escaping jail. On May 5, 1916, Agnes Loveless was murdered by "Charles Smith" using an axe and he was arrested. On May 18, 1916, “Walter Cairins” sawed through the bars of his cell at St. Anthony jail using a saw he hid in his shoe and escaped. Not much is known about his life after his escape from jail, but it has been reported that Loveless lived on the outskirts of Dubois, Idaho in a tent in 1916 and the clothes described in his wanted poster are the same clothes found with his remains, so it is believed he died shortly after his escape from jail.
Case
The torso was initially found buried in Buffalo Cave, Idaho wrapped in burlap. On March 30, 1991, his arm and both legs were discovered in the same cave also wrapped in burlap. Despite extensive searches of the area, his head has never been recovered.
