I came across him today. Looks like he was a Greaser! his mug shots almost look like the celebrity mugshots.. I think it was his cool hair! I wonder what his story was?

[Nancy Drew RN]

His daughter seems to have been looking for him; she placed a personal ad to that effect in the Boston Globe in 2005. In it, she refers to him as Jack and references Potsdam, NY. There is also a message on an online board looking for him that states his last known residence was Albion, NY (not clear if this is the one in Oswego County or Orleans County--both are in upstate NY on Lake Ontario), DOB 7/10/37, son of George and Sally Jane. Finally, there is an archived site that appears to have two tiny thumbnail photos of him. Both depict him with shorter hair than the mugshots, which allows you to see that he has incredibly distinctive ears, large and sticking out. These are a great identifying mark, in addition to his tattoos. One photo does show him in dark-framed glasses.

Later the same month a man was found deceased in a rooming house in canada. Bit of a distance but not unheard of. Tattoos are slightly different but given the time between missing and reporting that could be vague.

How about Salisbury Maryland John Doe from September 1972?
Heights and weights are a little off but the other descriptors seem ok. There is no mention of the tattoo on the JD but with being hit by a train.......if it was small maybe it got ripped up.

There’s a John K Corbett listed as living in Kentucky born in 1937.
