On January 21, 2000, a man was found in the passenger seat of a burning Chrysler Imperial near the intersection of East Broadway Boulevard and North Kolb Road in Tucson, Arizona. Although the cause of death could not be determined, authorities suspected homicide resulting from an intentional arson attack. His NamUs file was removed in October 2026, and the Pima County Medical Examiner later confirmed his identity as Jack Lee Prehoda.

Unidentified Wiki

On 10/21/2024, a woman was walking through an open field near to the Interstate 210 in Redlands, California, when she came across the skeletal remains of a possible hispanic woman between the ages 24-45 and which cause of death is not stated due to the state of the remains. There's no further information.

Characteristics

• Medium-length black or dark-colored hair.

• Used a catheter.

Clothes

• Citrus Valley Blackhawks High School soccer pullover sweatshirt.

• White tank top featuring a woman surrounded by butterflies and phrases, including "My life is full of love and happiness" and "Keep going".

Edit: After researching the origin of the sleeveless shirt, I found that it is a shirt that is sold in stores like Temu and SheIn (it was discontinued in Temu and is not available in SheIn) And when I checked the latter, I found that the shirt was sold in sizes by age (e.g., 14Y), So it's very likely that Jane Doe maybe was a teenager and not an adult woman as recorded in the age range.

Recently, u/Simpsons_fan_54 [asked about a case that had limited info on NamUs](https://www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldoe/s/uTUNCcCgpv) and the story turned out to be far more complicated, so I've decided to do a writeup with the additional information. Someone else did a major update to his Unidentified Wiki page after I added some clarifying details and a couple of sources.

Case

On February 3, 1994, a fiery explosion occurred in a camper-trailer in a remote area near Gypsum Wash and the north shore of Lake Mead in Henderson County, Nevada. The explosion was heard by witnesses further away, and a park services patrol worker discovered the wreckage and the charred remains of a man. An arson-sniffing dog was brought to the scene to see if the fire was fueled by gas, and a large can of gas was discovered in the rubble.

The authorities tentatively identified the remains as belonging to Arthur G. Bennett of Arizona. He was a Marine, and his dentist confirmed the identification from memory, because Bennett's dental file had been lost. His family cremated the remains and held a funeral with military honors at a veterans cemetery in Boulder City, Nevada.

Over three years later, in October 1997, a man who was living in Utah (with his wife and daughters) under the name "Joseph Benson" was arrested for child molestation. But when he was fingerprinted, the results came back as the supposedly deceased Arthur G. Bennett. The authorities in Nevada and the Marines were notified of Bennett's arrest and faked death.

At that point, more details emerged. The Marines had been planning to court-martial Bennett for a child molestation charge in Arizona before his faked death. His mother and two brothers had split the proceeds of Bennett's life insurance policy from the military, knowing that Bennett was alive. His ex-wife applied for dependents' benefits, despite knowing the truth. His relatives, meanwhile, claimed that Bennett had duped them, saying that he needed to fake his death so he could take on a new identity for a secret government mission.

By July 1999, the Marines were preparing to court-martial Bennett for his previous crimes and a new charge of desertion, while Nevada was planning to put Bennett on trial for the murder of the unidentified man in the camper-trailer. However, Bennett hanged himself in his jail cell before the cases could go to trial. In 2001, his ex-wife pleaded guilty to a lesser charge while his mother and brothers were convicted of defrauding the government.

Unfortunately, while the police pursued leads to identify the murdered man, including looking into the possibility that he was the original Joseph Benson and Bennett stole his identity, the authorities were unable to identify this man. One of Bennett's relatives testified that Arthur implied that he knew the victim, but provided no other details.

Hopefully, DNA testing advances enough that he can be identified one day; a man who had been cremated and his cremains scattered in a lake was identified within the past 12 months. I'm also wondering about his estimated height, because I could see someone misreading a 6 as a 5, leading to the height being read as 59 inches instead of 69 inches.

I'm a little surprised a child this young had any matches at all- sadly, many, many infants and babies are just not reported missing (which I think is intentional). This John Doe was found buried in a shallow grave with very little information, but I cross referenced what we did have and this boy came up as a possible match. I see the resemblance in the facial reconstruction but I'm a tad bit face blind, so I'd appreciate other people's input.

John Doe was found buried in a shallow grave, and Anthony is suspected to have been abducted. Here's his page on the Charley Project for those that want to read it.

Hello all… this is my first time doing this.

Adam Castillo was 21 years old when was last seen at about 2 a.m. Sunday, September 14, 2008, just outside Willcox, AZ, near Kansas Settlement, at a party in the desert near the Blue Sky Road, locally known as “the loop.” There were approximately 25 partygoers at the loop that night, and everybody made it home - except Adam.

On November 18, 2011, partial skeletal remains of an unidentified male were found in a desert area off of Pipeline Road in Ajo, Arizona, Pima County. The area where John Doe was discovered is approximately 3 1/2 hours from Willcox. It is suspected he had been deceased between 2 months to 1 year. He is believed to have been between 15 and 19 years old. His height, weight, hair color and eye color are unknown. The featured reconstruction is an artist's rendering of what the John Doe may have looked like.

Sources:

https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/cold-case-spotlight/sisters-arizona-man-adam-castillo-missing-2008-hoping-renewed-interest-n1281711

NCMEC case number 1250498

Obviously there are some inconsistencies- the timeframe of when Adam disappeared and the suspicion that John Doe had been deceased between 2 months to 1 year. The age range is close, but a couple years off. The location of the body and where Adam went missing from are pretty far- would someone drive that far with a body, when there is already so much remoteness near Willcox? The thing that really stopped me is the resemblance in the reconstruction to Adam.

Thoughts? Is it worth submitting?

Unidentified Wiki

From DNASolves.com: "On July 23, 1990, rescue crews responding to a vehicle accident on California Highway 33 in Ventura County, California discovered the remains of an unidentified woman on a steep hillside near the intersection of Creek Road. The woman's partial remains were found about 60 feet down the hillside, and subsequent searches recovered additional skeletal elements and five teeth. Near the remains, investigators found a hairbrush, a metal clasp, and two small pieces of cloth.

Efforts to identify the woman, including area searches, dental comparisons, and a facial reconstruction drawing created from the skull, were unsuccessful. Despite continued investigative work, the case went cold, and she remained unidentified for decades. The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) as UP15158."

In 2025, investigators with the Ventura County Sheriff's Office-Major Crimes Investigations working with the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office, submitted evidence to Othram, where scientists developed a comprehensive genetic profile for the woman.

Law enforcement then used the profile in a genetic genealogy search and developed new leads. A follow-up investigation resulted in the identification of the woman as 57-year-old Patricia Diana (Hunt) Fielding. Patricia was born on October 15, 1933 in Taft, Kern County, California and was a mother of four. However, little is known about Fielding's life before her remains were discovered or the circumstances surrounding her death.

"The Ventura County Sheriff's Office-Major Crimes Investigations is seeking public assistance from anyone who knew Patricia during the relevant time period or who has information about her associates, whereabouts, or activities. Investigators can be contacted by referencing case number 90-55883."

Rest in peace Patricia.

🚨UPDATE 🚨

Lake Mead Barrel Victim Identified as Edward "Buddy"
Jackson

Edward Lelburian Jackson, also known as "Buddy" or
"Uncle Buddy," has been identified as the man whose remains were recovered from a barrel in Lake Mead at Hemenway Harbor in 2022, the Clark County Coroner's Office and Oklahoma State University confirmed.

Jackson was originally from Arkansas and died in his mid-50s. Despite his disappearance and death, he was never reported missing by his family, and limited information about his life has been made public. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Jackson traveled around the country, but investigators have little information about his personality and personal history.

His remains were discovered inside a barrel at Hemenway Harbor in Lake Mead in 2022, a discovery that drew significant attention amid the lake's falling water levels and the emergence of previously submerged evidence.

Jackson's death was ruled a homicide. The circumstances surrounding his death, including who was responsible and how he came to be inside the barrel, remain unresolved.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is asking anyone with information about Jackson's death to come forward. The case will remain open until it is solved.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at 702-385-5555.

The news conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15 at LVMPD Headquarters

A man whose remains were discovered in a barrel at Lake Mead back in 2022 has been identified, according to the Las Vegas Metro police.
On Wednesday, officials with the Clark County Office of the coroner/medical examiner, in conjunction with police, said that they had positively identified the person whose remains were discovered at Hemenway Harbor on May 1, 2022.

On May 1, 2022, boaters discovered the unidentified man's body concealed in a barrel near Hemenway Harbor.
Back in 2023, police released images in an attempt to identify a man found deceased in the barrel.

County officials said the man died from a gunshot wound, with the manner of his death being homicide. The 8 News Now Investigators first reported the discovery. Police believe the barrel was fully intact when it was dropped into the lake.

Metro police suspect the man was killed in the 1980s based on personal items in the barrel. The victim was wearing clothing and shoes sold at Kmart stores in the mid-to-late 1970s.

According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, the man's estimated age ranges from 27 to 61 years.

hi everyone! i have a question about finding exclusions for missing and unidentified persons. i have seen other people find them relatively quickly, but no matter which websites or databases i look through, i can’t seem to find them myself. i have tried searching through different resources, but i am still struggling to figure out where this information is usually listed.

are exclusions available directly through NamUs, or is there another website or database that I should be using? are they usually publicly accessible, or does it depend on the individual case and the investigating agency?

i am still learning how to navigate these resources and would really appreciate any advice, recommendations, or tips on how to find this information. even a quick explanation of where to start or what to look for would be a huge help. thank you in advance!

Case details:

On August 30th, 1981. The body of a 21-25 (newspaper states 17-20, other sources state 20-30) year old man was found hanging on the edge of a bird sanctuary near the A178 Graythorpe to Seal Sands Road, near Hartlepool. A post on Reddit mentioned the man had deep cuts on his wrists, and his hands were tied. Firefighters were baffled at how he had managed to hang himself like that.

The man appeared to be between 21 to 25 years old and stood about 5’6″ to 5’7″ tall. He had a slim to normal build, but his features suggested he was quite strong and muscular. His hair was wavy and collar length, a shade of mousey brown, neatly shaped over his ears. His eyes were a mix of blue and grey, accentuated by his thick brown eyebrows. His lips were thin and his teeth were well-maintained.

His hands were short and well taken care of, showing no signs of manual labour. He had a small scar just outside his left kneecap, another on the top of his right shin, and an old scar from an appendix surgery that was about 2 inches long.

In terms of clothing, he was wearing y-front underpants, calf-length grey socks, and Adidas ‘Country’ training shoes in white with green stripes, which were size 7.5 and made in France. Interestingly, each shoe had the name “SAYER” written in capital letters with ballpoint ink. He was also wearing grey corduroy trousers with a metal waist fastener marked ‘GUTOS’ and a fly zip marked ‘OPTI’. There was a small pink label on the inside of his left leg bearing the legend “08894046”. According to UK missing persons unit site, he had a disposable French lighter in his possession.

Notes

With the man’s wrists slashed and tied makes me think, was his death a suicide or murder? Is his name possibly “Sayer”? Also on the Reddit post it was stated that there was a Cold War connection, that the man was disposed of by his handlers. It’s been 45 years and this man hasn’t been identified yet, I hope they investigate whether his death was a murder or suicide, and I hope the news would bring attention to this case by possibly locating where he’s buried, and exhume him for DNA testing. I am sorry if I missed any additional details on his case.
