Police Need Help Identifying Remains Found In 1982 Man Estimated To Be In 20s Or 30s The Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office and the Twinsburg Police Department are trying to establish the identity of skeletal remains that were discovered in a remote area of Twinsburg in February 1982. The remains are that of an African-American male, who is estimated to be in his early 20s to mid-30s at the time of death. It has been estimated that he was deceased for two to four years prior to his discovery. A sketch of the man was completed by a forensic facial reconstruction expert in the hope that someone may recognize him and contact either the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office at 330-643-2101 or Det. Sgt. Greg Feketik from the Twinsburg Police Department at 330-963-6221 or 330-425-1234. Copyright 2009 by NewsNet5. All rights reserved.

http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/09/tw...t_has_been.html TWINSBURG, Ohio — It has been 27 years since the skeletal remains of an unidentified man were found in a remote area of Twinsburg. But an offhand remark from a police dispatcher two years ago got Det. Sgt. Greg Feketik thinking about the remains, and now they are trying to figure out who he is. A sketch done by a forensic facial reconstruction expert working with the Summit County Medical Examiner's office is being released today in the hope that someone will recognize the man. "It took two years to get everything done, including locating the original reports, but here we are," Feketik said. "Better late than never. We don't expect to solve a crime here, we just want to get him back to where he belongs. Everyone has family somewhere and we're sure he does." The remains are that of a black man estimated to be in his early 20s to mid-30s at the time of death. He may have been dead for two to four years before his remains were discovered. Anyone who recognizes the sketch can contact either the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office at 330-643-2101 or Detective Sgt. Greg Feketik from the Twinsburg Police Department at 330-963-6221 or 330-425-1234. |

Twinsburg seeks ID in decades-old homicide By Kathy Antoniotti Beacon Journal staff writer POSTED: 07:52 p.m. EDT, Sep 03, 2009 Twinsburg police and the Summit County medical examiner have reopened a decades-old homicide in an attempt to identity the victim. The male victim, whose remains were found behind a small factory in Twinsburg in 1982, probably died from a shotgun blast or a blow from a blunt object, authorities say. The victim's bones and body parts were cut up and wrapped in plastic garbage bags and buried. It was believed the man had been dead for two to four years when the remains were discovered. Twinsburg police detective Sgt. Greg Feketik said Thursday his department decided to reopen the case because new technology could help establish the victim's identity. ''This is the first time we've looked into it, and only because a lot of us weren't here at that time,'' he said. There have never been any leads in the case, he said. Feketik called on Gary Guenther, an investigator for the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office, to look into identifying the victim. ''He told us to send him the report. Let me tell you, it was tough to find that report,'' Feketik said. The report was found sitting on the desk of a retired lieutenant. The victim's skull was recently sent to Dr. Linda Spurlock of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, who sketched a facial reconstruction of the victim. Other skeletal remains were sent to Frank and Julie Saul, anthropologists in Lucas County, who are using current scientific testing to get additional information, Guenther said. After the remains were discovered in 1982, authorities turned to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., to investigate the man's death. Dr. William A. Cox, a forensic pathologist with the Summit County coroner's office at the time, released details from a report by J. Lawrence Angel, curator of physical anthropology at the Smithsonian. Angel determined the victim was a black man in his early 20s to mid-30s. He was about 5 feet, 5 inches tall with a slight but muscular build. Speculation on the motive for the man's death has run the gamut. Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer of Bath Township was questioned as a possible suspect for two days in 1991 by investigators from Bath Township Police Department and the Summit County sheriff. Retired Twinsburg Police Chief Don Prange suggested at the time the remains could be a victim of a Cleveland gangland slaying. Although DNA testing is scheduled, the first order of business is identifying the victim. Authorities must find a relative to compare the DNA, Guenther said. ''If we don't find out who this is, DNA will be useless,'' he said. Anyone with information can contact the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office at 330-643-2101, or Twinsburg police at 330-963-6221. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy Antoniotti can be reached at 330-996-3565 or kantoniotti@thebeaconjournal.com.

http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/01/wh..._the_oppor.html The Opportunity Homes program; skeletal remains found in Twinsburg, OSU going to semesters: Whatever happened to ... ? By Plain Dealer staff January 11, 2010, 5:01AM "Whatever happened to ...?" is a weekly series updating some of the most newsworthy and interesting local stories covered in The Plain Dealer. Today, we answer these questions: Whatever Happened to the attempt to identify the skeletal remains found in Twinsburg in 1982? Twinsburg police said there have been a few leads, but the identity of the man whose body was found in a remote area of the northern Summit County community in 1982 remains a mystery. An artist's conception of the face for a body found in Twinsburg in 1982.Police became interested in the cold case in 2006 when a police dispatcher's offhand remark got Detective Sgt. Greg Feketik thinking about the remains. He figured there have been so many advances in technology, forensic science and communication that maybe they would have a chance to put a name to the bones found so many years ago. A sketch done by a forensic facial reconstruction expert working with the Summit County medical examiner's office was released in the hope that someone would recognize the man. "We have the information everywhere we could possibly have it, but so far he has not been identified," said Feketik. "We are still waiting for DNA results from the bones, which might provide some information." The remains are that of a black man estimated to be in his early 20s to mid-30s at the time of death. He may have been dead for two to four years before his remains were discovered. Anyone who recognizes the sketch can contact either the Summit County medical examiner's office at 330-643-2101 or Detective Sgt. Greg Feketik from the Twinsburg Police Department at 330-963-6221 or 330-425-1234 -- Michael Sangiacomo |
