This is the grave marker at Evergreen Cemetery that marks the final resting place of an unidentified man whose body was discovered on Independence Pass in 1970. Although the body currently is at Bailey-Kent Funeral Home in Leadville, it will soon be returned to this grave.

Two young men walking east from the summit of Independence Pass on June 19, 1970, discovered the decomposed body of a white male lying in a ditch on the north side of the road about 2 miles from the top of the pass. It was partially covered with rocks that had fallen from the slope above.

There was no identification on the body, and to this day, the Independence Pass John Doe remains nameless. Yet it is more likely now than ever before that his family might be found, thanks to DNA.

20 to 30 year old White Male

Discovered June 5, 1936 Cleveland, Ohio

The coroner commented the victim looked to be of Slavic or possibly Scandinavian descent.
He had six tattoos; One on the left calf was the character Jiggs from the comic strip Bringing Up Father. On the right calf was an anchor under a superimposed Cupid. On the right forearm was "Helen-Paul" over a dove. A butterfly on the right shoulder. On the left forearm was crossed flags. Also on the left forearm were the initials WCG with an arrow through a heart. The tattoos may have suggested a naval background of the victim.

This man is also known as the "Tattooed Man" and Victim #5 of the Kingsbury Run Murders. Read about that here.

A reader emailed me some ideas about this John Doe having been on this ship and it looks pretty promising!

If anyone can find rosters for this ship I'd appreciate it. The John Doe was found June 5, 1936 so he would have been on it when it was named Skaneateles (1934 - 1937) or WCG-209 (1925 - 1933)
