Investigators hope face model leads to name

'COMMERCE CITY - If police investigators can help someone put a specific name with a specific face then they can say they have done their job in trying to solve a big mystery.

"This is a very important case to us in the (department)," said Det. Mike Saunders. "At this time everything has reached a dead end."

On Thursday, Saunders, along with Mike Chavez, the chief deputy coroner in Adams County, revealed a facial reconstruction made with the help of a skull found in a Commerce City field in November.

"We're sure within a 95 percent probability that this is what he looked like," said Chavez.

In November, a man walking his dog in a field near 64th and I-270 came across the skull. He picked it up and hand-delivered it to the police department.

"It was not buried. It was pretty much found on top of vegetation," said Saunders.

During the next two days, members of the Commerce City Police Department searched the field looking for other bones. They ended up finding almost all of them. They also found the man's boots and a belt buckle.

"We would like to know how he ended up (there)," said Saunders.

Police believe the man was in his early 20s to early 30s. They believe he may have been African-American, but confess they cannot say that for sure. They also believe he was anywhere from 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 6 inches tall.

Anyone with any information about the face is being urged to call the Commerce City Police Department at 303-227-8840.'
