Found Body Still Unidentified–Public’s Help Sought in Making Identification
Filed Under Uncategorized
SANTA BARBARA, CA – 3/29/2007 – 3/29/07. The body discovered two days ago near the Hwy 101 Carrillo Street on-ramp remains unidentified. The body was discovered fully clothed, but had no identification or jewelry. So far, SB Police and SB Sheriff’s detectives have not matched the body to any known missing person cases. The best estimate for time of death is about thirty days. Decomposition made recovering fingerprints impossible. Likewise, the existence of tattoos or scars cannot be determined. The coroner could find no visible cause of death. Foul play is not suspected at this time; however, the investigation is not closed.
Public assistance is requested in determining the identity of the victim. The description: A male; age 20-40 years; 5-2 in height; with a small to medium build; short brown hair with facial hair on the chin, very good teeth with a pronounced gap between the top two front teeth. The clothing is: A dark T-shirt; baggy blue jeans with reinforced knees; black sweatpants cut off at the knee under the jeans; a black nylon belt with a chrome buckle that has the number “13†punched out of the metal; and white Nike tennis shoes.
Anyone with information on a possible match is urged to contact the Coroner’s Department at 681-4147.
