The boy in the forest
32 years later, identity of boy's body found along Glendora Mountain Road still a mystery

ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST - On a Tuesday afternoon 32 years ago, a motorcyclist stopped on the side of Glendora Mountain Road for a quick break and made a grisly discovery.
In a grave 18 inches deep lay the remains of a little boy.
Craig Harvey, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Department of the Coroner, said the body was decomposed but still had some skin. Animals had been digging up the grave as well.
The coroner estimated the boy, tagged John Doe #347, died approximately two weeks before his body was discovered.
Harvey said because of the decomposition and missing tissue, the cause of death was undetermined.
However, detectives suspect the boy may have met foul play.
"It would appear it was criminal. Circumstances suggest homicide," said Sheriff's Sgt. Paul Mondry , who works in the department's Cold Case unit.
Mondry declined to discuss details of why he suspects homicide.
For the past three decades, investigators have tried to identify the remains.
