BACKGROUND
At approximately 3 p.m., on September 5th, 2024, construction workers discovered human remains at a construction site “…in an area south of County Road 398, between County Road 394 and South Beauchamp Boulevard…” in Princeton, Texas. According to an article by WFAA (published 05 September 2024, updated 25 October 2024) “Police say they do not believe the intersection where the man was found was the location where he died.”
The victim is believed to be an Asian male (“Asian/Asian derived to include Amerindian and Hispanic descent”) between 15 to 30 years old. He weighed between 100 to 200 pounds and stood at approximately 5’3” in height. He had black hair. His eye colour could not be determined. No clothing or items possibly found on or near the man were noted.
Sadly, there is not much information on this Doe or his case.
I will note the very large weight range (100 to 200 pounds). His weight was likely not able to be determined, at least not any more than 100 to 200 pounds, due to decomposition. That is my guess, at least, and that it was just entered with the large range in NamUs.
