''About 4.50pm on Tuesday 14 April 1981 emergency services responded to reports of a man being fatally struck by a train in the rail corridor between Stanmore and Newtown Railway Stations. There were no suspicious circumstances relating to the death.''
''Following a review of cold cases in 2021 a fingerprint analyst identified the man as possibly Osvaldo Perez with a date of birth of 16 May 1955 residing in a boarding house on Normanby Street, Fairfield East, and at the time was believed to be employed as either a labourer or boiler maker.
However, detailed investigations both here in Australia and - with the assistance of INTERPOL - abroad have failed to find any existence of this person and it is believed that this may have been an alias used by the man.
Detectives from Inner West Police Area Command have established that the man was arrested by Cabramatta Police on New Year's Day in 1981 for exceeding the prescribed concentration of alcohol, driving an unregistered/uninsured vehicle and unlicensed driving.''
''The man was described as being of South American appearance, 176cm tall, aged between 25 – 30 years of age, medium build, olive complexion, black curly collar length hair, a black moustache and spoke with an accent.
On his left thigh were tattoos of a woman wearing a bikini and holding a bunch of flowers, an eye and the words 'Eulrlia' and 'Stevios.' There was also a tattoo of a rose on his left shoulder blade.
The origin of these words could possibly be either Greek or Spanish.
At the time he was wearing a yellow and brown patterned shirt, blue denim straight leg jeans and brown boots.
Located in the man's possession was a $20 note, an 'Aseikon' brand gold coloured wristwatch and a weekly train ticket allowing travel between Stanmore and Canley Vale.
It is believed the man may have had links to Fairfield's Romanian community.
Assistance is also being sought from tattoo artists of this era to advise of the possible origin of the tattoos.''
