Police are releasing a new forensic sketch of a man who went missing 10 years ago in hopes of cracking an unsolved investigation rooted in male remains found east of Toronto.
On Mar. 14, 2012, two hikers found a deceased person in a densely wooded area of Knights of Columbus Park in Oshawa, near Ritson Road North and Winchester Road East.
Durham Regional Police said it appeared the body had been there for a few days or a few weeks. Foul play was not suspected.
A post-mortem detailed a man 5’9 in height, approximately 224 pounds, with dark brown hair and a scar on his left knee.
When he was found, he was wearing a red Misty Mountain waterproof jacket, a black hooded sweatshirt with a zipper and beige work boots.
In an updated appeal to the public, police are releasing a new rendering of the unknown man.
