BACKGROUND

On June 18^th, 2024, the body of a Hispanic male was “…recovered by Border Patrol in Brownsville, Texas.” (NamUs) It is believed that he had been deceased approximately 5 days.

NamUs does not give an age range but does note an age group of Adult – Pre 50. He weighed approximately 160 pounds and stood at 5’8” (68 inches; 172.72 cm) in height. He had brown eyes and black hair that was 0.25/¼ inches (0.635 cm) long.

He had multiple tattoos, including:
- “AH (x10), Grouping, non linear” on his right upper chest
- The date “24-09-16” on his left upper chest
- The letters “A L J A” on his abdomen
- A smiling face (Devil) with horns on his right upper arm
- A trident symbol on his left forearm
- Three (3) dots on the webbing between his thumb and forefinger on his left hang
- The Grim Reaper holding a scythe with “Te Amo” beneath on his right lower leg (lateral aspect (outer leg/away the midline of the body))
- The Grim Reaper with “Jesus” beneath on his right lower leg (medial aspect (inner leg/towards the midline of the body))
- Lisa Simpson holding an ice cream cone with the apparent letter “F” and the letters “CUY” beneath on his left lower leg (medial aspect (inner leg/towards the midline of the body))
His NamUs profile only had photos of the smiling face (Devil) tattoo and the Grim Reaper tattoo with “Te Amos” beneath. The first tattoo mentioned of the nonlinear “AH” makes me think of The Joker tattoos that people get that will have groups of “HA” repeated and sort of randomly positioned. I wish there was a photo of that tattoo available to confirm or deny this suspicion.

The man was found wearing a red short-sleeved plaid shirt, a red short-sleeved t-shirt, blue denim jeans, and black underwear. A gold/yellow metal necklace with a gold/yellow metal pendant of the Grim Reaper holding a scythe was also discovered.

(*Currently, I am focusing mostly on cases of migrants who passed when crossing the Mexico-United States border. A lot of these cases have very little information provided.*)

CLOTHING/ITEMS – On the body, the following was noted
- Red short-sleeved plaid shirt (No brand or size noted)
- Red short-sleeved t-shirt (No brand or size noted)
- Blue denim jeans (No brand or size noted)

Princeton John Doe (September 2024)
- DATE OF DISCOVERY: September 5^th, 2024
- LOCATION OF DISCOVERY: Princeton, Collin County, Texas, 75407, USA
- ESTIMATED YEAR OF DEATH: 2024 (Collin County Medical Examiner states “August-Sept. 2024”)
- POSTMORTEM INTERVAL: 2 weeks
- CONDITION OF REMAINS: Not recognizable – Decomposing/putrefaction
- CAUSE OF DEATH: Not stated

- HEIGHT (MEASURED): 5’3” (63 inches; 160.02 cm)
- EYE COLOUR: Unknown
- HAIR: Black
- DISTINGUISHING MARKS/FEATURES: None stated
BACKGROUND

At approximately 3 p.m., on September 5^th, 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.

- CONDITION OF REMAINS: Not recognizable – Decomposing/putrefaction
- CAUSE OF DEATH: Not stated/Unknown
- SEX: Female
- ESTIMATED AGE¹: 45 – 70 years old

BACKGROUND

On July 21^st, 2020, human remains were discovered in the 2000 block of Ahrens Street, described as a “…grassy area behind some businesses and warehouses”, in Houston, Texas.

The victim is believed to be a Caucasian female between 45 to 70 years old. She stood approximately 5’4” to 5’6” in height and had long, partially white and brown/black hair. Her weight and eye colour could not be determined. It is noted that she “wears glasses”, though no glasses were noted to be found so I am unsure how they came to this conclusion or if some were found but just not noted down.

The woman had a colourful butterfly tattoo on her outer left calf. She was found wearing a dark blue t-shirt with the words “Stronger than Cancer” and the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon, black stretchy pants, yellow hospital-style non-slip socks, underwear, and a bra.

A comment on her Websleuths forum post link to a .pdf file by Harris County regarding this Jane Doe but it is not available now for some reason, or at least I cannot access it. They note that in the file, she is noted to have had “…a history of a left craniotomy (surgery involving the skull), surgery of her neck, and surgery of her wrist.” I have not seen this noted anywhere else but wanted to mention it.

A good write-up of this case was done a year ago on the r/UnresolvedMysteries subreddit by user u/HovercraftCapable820 that I will include in the reference links.

CLOTHING/ITEMS – On the body, the following was noted
- Dark blue t-shirt with the words “Stronger than Cancer” and the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon (No brand or size noted)
- Black stretchy pants (No brand noted; size “L”)
- Yellow hospital-style non-slip socks (No brand or size noted)
- Underwear (No brand or size noted)
- Bra (No brand or size noted)
Near the body, the following was noted
- White and pink sneakers (No brand or size noted)
NOTES – Things of note or discrepancies found during research
- ¹ AGE – NamUs notes 40 to 70 years old, while Texas DPS notes 40 to 65 years old.
- ² HEIGHT – NamUs notes 5’5” to 5’6”, Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences notes her height as 5’6”, and Texas DPS notes 5’4” to 5’6”, so I can just used the shorted and tallest numbers for the range.
IDENTIFIERS – I could not find any information regarding identifiers

BACKGROUND
At approximately 10:30 a.m., on December 29^th, 2018, two hunters discovered skeletal remains in a pasture in the 500 block of Ragle Road in Weatherford, Texas. “The remains were scattered on the southwest corner of the property in about a 50-yard radius,” Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said in a news release.” (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 03 January 2019)

The remains were determined to be of a Hispanic or Asian woman. She was believed to have been between 25 to 35 years old and stood around 4’6” to 5’3” in height. Eye colour, hair colour/description, and weight could not be determined.

Originally, the woman was believed to have died between 9 months to two years prior. Authorities now believe she likely died sometime between 2015 and the Spring of 2018 (approximately 9 months to 3 years prior).

A bright pink waist tie, seemingly from a bath robe, was found near the remains. It cannot be confirmed that it is related, but authorities believe it may be due to the proximity.

On September 5^th, 2019, the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, in a Facebook post, released a reconstruction of the woman. This post is where it is stated her likely time of death is now believed to be from 2015 to Spring of 2018. Other than a handful of articles in the first week of January 2019 (very soon after her discover), and a handful in September 2019 when the Sheriff’s Office released the reconstruction, there is not much information regarding her or her case.
CLOTHING/ITEMS – Near the body, the following was noted
- Bright pink bathrobe waist tie (“located in close proximity to the remains”)
