Caroline County John Doe was a young man found deceased in Virginia in 1988. He was found with another male, who also remains unidentified and is believed to have been his father.
Case[]
At around 8:30 AM on November 10, 1988, two turkey hunters found the badly decomposed bodies of two men near the Ladysmith exit along Interstate 95 in Ruther Glen, Virginia. The bodies were found in a wooded area about 75 yards off the main highway.
Both men had been killed, but investigators have not released their cause of death. It is believed the victims had been deceased since the previous summer, or possibly the mid-winter of 1988.
Forensic testing has revealed that the pair were paternally related and that they possibly had a parent/child relationship.
Clothing the victims wore were brand new and suggest possible Hispanic ethnicity. The victims may have been undocumented migrants from Central or South America; however, coordination with the local Hispanic community failed to identify either victim.
