Ontario John Doe died 1968 Identified 13 December 2006 as Richard "Dickie" Hovey

An unknown male murder victim was located on May 15, 1968 in Schomberg, Ontario, Canada. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received tips from members of the public who had viewed an image of the victim's facial reconstruction on the OPP "Resolve" website.

The Centre of Forensic Sciences was able to confirm (on December 13, 2006) the identity of the remains to be Richard "Dickie" Hovey of Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Hovey had moved to Toronto in 1966 or 1967 and was reportedly a musician in clubs in the Yorkville area. He disappeared from that area in the late spring or early summer of 1967. Hovey was approximately 17 years old at the time of his death.
