On April 5, 2016 at about 10:20 a.m., a surveyor in the area just off the frontage road near highway 158, found the remains of an adult male. The surveyor called police and police found the fully decomposed body in the wooded area. The body was in a garbage bag and duct tape was found as well. The remains only included a skeleton. Two vertebrae were missing from the man’s skeleton.

Police sent some of the remains to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification. Only a few months later, on August 17, 2016, the remains were positively identified as Hosia D. Jackson through Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). The Illinois State Police had Jackson’s DNA on file. In 2016 Kenosha Police publicized the revelation of the man’s identification, but nothing solid turned up.
