The cuffs of the jeans were not rolled up, and a 32-inch inseam would be too long for a man about 5 feet 6 inches tall. A gray long-sleeve Echo Unlimited shirt. The shirt was part of the fall 2000 line of Ecko Unlimited Co., a hip-hop clothing company based in New Jersey. The medium-size, long-sleeve, button-down, gray polyester dress shirt has the Ecko rhinoceros logo on the bottom of the breast pocket. The company logo also appears on a red tag at the top of the pocket. The shirt features a pattern of drawings of athletes in competition. It probably sold for about $60. He was also wearing size 8 1/2 white All Star brand tennis shoes with Nike socks, and a 1 1/2-inch-wide brown leather belt with a simple silver buckle.
- Belongings: The man had five $100 bills in his front shirt pocket, but no wallet. He also had a single key on a key ring with nail clippers.
Case History
The victim was found in the woods near Rasar State Park on Cape Horn Road. The body was discovered March 21 by a man picking mushrooms. The body was found about a quarter mile from the road, near a hay field -- an area occasionally used by people looking for a secluded spot.
The man died of a gunshot wound.
The baggy style of pants and tennis shoes, together with a lack of dental work, lead police to think the victim might have been fairly young, possibly in his mid-20s or 30s.
Detectives found two deteriorated business cards from the Yellow Cab company and the Mark II Motel in Burlington in the man's pockets. A review of company records hasn't opened up any leads on the case.
