The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner with the Virginia Department of Health unveiled eight facial models of unidentified individuals whose remains were found in various locations in Virginia between 1972 and 2014.

The remains found in James City County were found on Nov. 1, 1976 along the bank of the York River approximately 10 miles south of West Point. The unidentified male is believed to be between twenty-five and sixty years of age, 5’6”-5’9”, of Asian/Hispanic/Native American ancestry, with a shoe size of 9.5-10 and likely “pigeon-toed” on at least his right foot. His cause of death is undetermined.
