Circumstances of Recovery
This skeletonized body with some soft tissue was discovered in July of 1975 in the Milwaukee River when a worker operating a floating crane was removing pilings from the northeast corner of the Kilbourn Avenue Bridge. At the time it was believed that the body was that of a white male over the age of 30. A key was found on this individual and it was determined what apartment building and room the key came from, but did not lead to an identification of this individual.
