Unidentified white male
Homicide
1982

On June 26, 1982, a body was located in the Snake River, on the Idaho side, 25 miles south of Lewiston. The victim was a white male, age 18-20, 5'11", approximately 150 pounds, long, straight dark brown to black hair, with a 2" scar on his right ankle. The individual was shot twice; once in the left shoulder and once in the neck. Victim was wearing designer jeans over blue swimming trunks with red and white stripes down the sides of the trunks, white socks, and blue bikini-style underwear. Eye color could not be determined and no dental work was evident in the teeth. No jewelery or identification were recovered and the body had no tattoos or distinguising marks except for the scar on the ankle.

Ballistics proved the victim had been shot with a .38 caliber Smith and Wesson 36 Centennial Model. This particular weapon has not been manufactured since 1967.

This victim has never been identified. If anyone has information regarding the identity of this individual or the homicide, please contact the Nez Perce County Sheriff's Investigator at 208-799-3131 or e-mail at investigator@co.nezperce.id.us. All information is confidential.

North Idaho 1982 cold case re-opened
North Idaho 1982 cold case re-opened

Updated Wednesday, Jan 4 at 3:24 PM

NEZ PERCE, Idaho-- Nez Perce County Sheriff’s Office has re-opened a cold homicide case from 1982.

On July 26, 1982 a deceased male was discovered on the shore of the Snake River approximately 25 miles from Lewiston. The cause of death was found to be homicide.

Efforts to identify this subject were not successful at the time and the male was interred in Lewiston as a John Doe.

Funding was recently obtained by the Sheriff’s Office through the Rocky Mountain Information Network in order to have DNA testing done.

The Rocky Mountain Information Network is one of six regional centers of the Regional Information Sharing Systems established by Congress in 1983 to assist the law enforcement community. The Sheriff’s Office applied, and was awarded, a grant to fund the disinterment and DNA testing of the victim.

Samples will be sent to the University of North Texas for DNA analysis at little or no cost. The University will also then submit the DNA profile to all available data-bases and notify the Sheriff’s Office of any possible matches.

Cold case from 32-years ago continues with body found south of Lewiston
By Sophia Miraglio Published: Jun 27, 2014 at 3:39 PM PDT

LEWISTON, ID - 32-years ago Thursday, the body of a young man was found in the river 25-miles south of Lewiston, and to this day, that man is still known only as John Doe.

Sophia Miraglio brings this cold case to life tonight.

It's been more than three decades, however he's still known as John Doe. And while he's come to rest on Normal Hill Cemetery, his story began many miles away.

"Somebody does know something and I believe somebody is hiding something," said Nez Perce County Sheriff Joe Rodriguez. "And it's just going to take time to figure who that person is."

The year was 1982, the place was right where the Grand Ronde comes into the Snake.

"It was during spring run off, we have not located the male that was located in the river at the time," said Rodriguez.

The man was shot twice; once in the left shoulder and once in the neck by a .38-caliber Smith and Wesson. Approximately 5'11", 160 to 170 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes. The case has provided very little clues, and has been opened and closed multiple times. Nez Perce County Sheriff Joe Rodriguez believes he knows why.

"Due to the clothing description, some of the people working in the area upstream from where he was located," said Rodriguez. "I think it's outside the United States honestly."

With time and distance both working against the case, Rodriguez hopes to create a task force that would span across the decades.

"People that may have worked in the area, people that may have been foreigners here and basically just trying to pick everybody's brain and resources that they have," said Rodriguez.

And while time undoubtedly works against cases like these, it opens the doors to new possibilities. In '82 DNA testing was only an idea, which is why John Doe was exhumed two-years ago.

"Due to moisture from the metal box that the body was in, we had to take it to the FBI office here in Lewiston and dry the bone prior to sending it," said Rodriguez.

Despite an unknown identification, the bone structure is wielding many clues.

"It's not 100% accurate the sketches aren't but I believe they are close to what the person looked like," said Rodriguez.

Rodriguez said he'll continue searching for clues, all in hopes of one day finding closure for a family.

"The family has a right to know what happened and then if they're located we can return this person back to where they came from and they can have a proper burial," said Rodriguez.

The case remains open and unsolved at this time. Nez Perce County Sheriff's deputies ask that if you have any information about the identity of this individual or this homicide, contact them at 208-799-3131.
