  On Sunday, July 10th, 1988 divers were doing some recreational diving in the Otonabee River at the foot of Lock Street, Peterborough looking for some antique bottles.
Near the middle of the river one of the divers located a human skull along with part of a human vertebra in approximately 12’ of water. It had been lodged between a rock and a log. The remains were sent to the Centre of Forensic Sciences and an exhaustive investigation was carried out in an attempt to learn the identity of the remains. Composite reconstruction was conducted on the skull and photographs were released to the media in 1988 (Photos Above). This investigation has continued as the technology in DNA testing has advanced and a DNA profile is presently on file at the Centre of Forensic Sciences. The remains are felt to be that of a white male, possibly 30 to 50 years old with a slim face, dark brown receding hair and unshaven.
