Authorities in El Paso County have released a reconstruction of an unidentified man whose remains were found 30 years ago in an area south of Colorado Springs.
The county sheriff’s office believes the body had been there as many as four years before it was found in November 1986 roughly four miles west of Interstate 25 in the Midway Ranch area.
Investigators say pieces of Calvin Klein denim jeans size 30/33, a bluish/green colored sweatshirt and a one inch-wide brown leather belt were found with the remains. No identification was found.
The remains are believed to be those of a white man who was 30 to 40 years old and stood about 5 feet, 6 inches tall.

“The forensic investigation determined the remains had been in place from one to four years,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release. “The odontologist concluded that the subject had a deep overbite and no dental restorations. The Calvin Klein denim jeans were manufactured in 1981.”
Over the years, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office has searched through missing persons files in several jurisdictions in hopes of identifying the man, but to no avail. Two forensic sculptors have created two reconstructions of the man’s likeness, one being completed in 1987 and the other this year.
Anyone with information on the man’s identity is asked to call Det. Jeff Nohr at 719-520-7225.
