ST. LOUIS COUNTY • Investigators are looking for help identifying human skeletal remains found more than a month ago along the Mississippi River near Lemay.

The partial skeleton of a man was found by two people walking along the river Dec. 11 among trash and debris about 25 feet from shore near the J.D. Streett & Co. property in the first block of River Road.

Gwen Haugen, a forensic investigator with the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office, says the man appears to have been caucasian ranging in age from 45 to 65 years and about 5'10" to 6'5" tall.

Although the skeleton is missing its hands, parts of its arms and lower legs, the most promising identifying characteristic is evidence of a surgery on the right shoulder bones. Also, Haugen said the man's teeth show he had extensive dental work including fillings, an implant and a crown.

The skeletal remains had no accompanying clothing when they were found, Haugen said. Haugen believes the man died anywhere from four months to one year before being discovered.

A full report on the remains including photos of the man's jaw, teeth and shoulder bones can be accessed by searching the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System database.

Anyone with information about the unidentified man is asked to call St. Louis County police at 314-889-2341.

PS. Can we keep our little glitch as quiet as possible? I've been using it for ages and I'd hate to lose it because someone has been reading this forum.

I'll go back and edit out anything I may have put in that calls attention to this!
 
It's a wonderful glitch! I hate thinking our members are spending precious time on cases that are solved!
