Revision as of 02:09, 1 June 2021
This individual was recently discovered. Some details may change as more information is released publicly.
Mountain Springs John Doe was a boy whose body was discovered on May 28, 2021. The case garnered attention after he was misidentified as a different child who disappeared from the same area who was later found alive.
Case
On the morning of May 28, 2021, the victim's body was found by hikers within hours and a day after he was killed. The location was close to State Highway 160.
After the discovery was publicized, a woman contacted authorities, believing the body belonged to her missing son, who was later found alive with his brother and father in Utah. Police acknowledged a strong resemblance between the two, and supported the mother's visual identification based on the sketch and morgue photographs.
Original sketch
Shortly thereafter, NCMEC was contacted to create their own rendering. Authorities have divulged their belief that the victim was local to the area, or a city in close proximity. However, a missing person report consistent with the child has yet to be made.
Characteristics
- Black hair that was cut short.
