Case History
The skeletal remains of this victim were located in a remote area in Napa County, California.

A skull with a bullet hole, a foot still inside a weather-beaten sock, and several other bones and fragments ­ were discovered by landowners who were surveying their property lines on Mount Veeder in 1997.

The bullet hole in the right temple of the skull, which was made by a .22-caliber Ruger handgun. Authorities are not sure if it was self inflicted or a homicide. He most likely was not a transient.

The anthropologist determined the man may have been a horse rider after examining the configuration of the pelvic bones.
