The victim was murdered and buried in a in a four foot deep grave at a construction site in Methuen, MA. The body was discovered wrapped in a blanket. The land sits at the corner of Pelham Street and Aegean Drive, across the street from the Nabisco plant, in the Marsh Corner neighborhood.
At the time there wasn't much at the location. But it is close to two major highways, and just minutes from the New Hampshire border. The grave is located close to a dirt road that once led right to this spot.
Police think the man might be from another part of the country because of the way he was dressed. Maverick blue jeans and Texas Steer black boots were not common clothes in the Boston area. The man had work rags in his pocket, all potential clues to what he did for a living.
There is a possibility he was some kind of mechanic or somebody who worked with his hands. There were some items found on his person that led police to believe a he was a mechanic, a truck driver or a biker.
