Manage episode 421294772 series 2916567
On Valentine’s Day 1975, a couple found the body of a teenage boy hanging from a tree along Highway 23, south of Belle Chasse, Louisiana. The boy, around 16-17 years old, 6 feet tall, and 160 pounds, had brown hair, brown eyes, and slightly protruding front teeth. He wore a maroon and yellow shirt, blue pants, mismatched socks, and no shoes.
A bedsheet tied into a slip knot was used, and his death was ruled a suicide. A sealed jar with a suicide note was found at the base of the tree. Despite a national search and over 300 families visiting to identify him, John Doe remains unidentified. One family thought he was their missing son, Charles Wallace Jr., but his mother confirmed he was not.
