context_page_description: In Florida, there are a number of murder victims in the category of unidentified decedents, whose identities have yet to be found. In most of these cases, their murderer or murderers have also gone undiscovered.
context_section_description: On February 3, 1984, the skeleton of a male, aged 17 to 28, was found in South Bay, Palm Beach County, Florida. It is believed that he had died within a year of his body's being found. The victim was approximately five foot nine inches to six feet tall, and weighed at around 110 to 130 pounds. He was found clothed; he wore blue underwear beneath a pair of white swim trunks and white socks with a blue stripe. Analysis of his bones indicated he had broken some ribs weeks before his murder and had suffered trauma to his right hand that failed to heal properly, which may have distorted the way his thumb looked. The young man had fillings in his teeth and one of his back teeth had been extracted a year or more before. The cause of death was ruled as homicide, as he had been struck with a blunt object in the back of his head. His hair was brown and was somewhat curly. One missing person, Terry Stokes, has been excluded from the case.
