Case History
On December 8, 1996, this unidentified male was located in a former gravel pit in Rheurdt-Schaephuysen (lower Rhine region, district of Kleve).
He was beaten to death somewhere else by persons unknown and was then placed without any clothing at the location where he was found.
Extensive investigation to solve the case and identify the man, with the help of national media, was futile. The dental data and a photo of the man were shown to all dentists in the area near the location where the deceased was found.
