REWARD OFFERED FOR IDENTITY OF “BELOVED DOE”
The Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) today placed “Beloved Doe” on its “Wanted
– Seeking Information” list, along with a promise of a reward
offered for information leading to the identification of “Beloved
Doe”, his parents, or caretaker. “Beloved Doe” was the nickname
given to an unidentified male child, whose remains were discovered in
a dumpster inside the Willow Creek Apartment Complex, address 7575
Office City Drive, Houston, Texas on the morning of Thursday, March
13, 2003.
The Houston office of
the FBI is joining the Houston Police Department and Texas Department
of Public Safety’s ongoing investigation into the death of this
unidentified child in the hopes of generating the information needed
to solve this case.
“Beloved Doe” is
believed to have been a white male, possibly of Hispanic descent,
between 3 to 6 years of age. Evidence recovered in the case suggested
the possibility that the child received prior medical treatment,
perhaps at a hospital or other medical facility. A medical examination
of the body indicated the child died of malnutrition and dehydration.
No other signs of abuse or injuries were indicated in the report.
At the time of his
death, “Beloved Doe” was wearing a white disposable diaper with
bears depicted on the front. He was wrapped in a gray Afghan-style
blanket and placed in a red and white checkered plastic bag.
“Beloved Doe” had a surgical scar on the right side of his neck,
two vertical scars on his abdomen, and a small mole on his right
forearm. He had close-cropped hair, bushy eyebrows, and long
eyelashes. His right ear was larger than his left ear.
Investigators have
reason to believe there may be individuals who have information
pertinent to this investigation, but for unknown reasons, have not yet
come forward. Information about suspicious persons, vehicles, or
activities in the area of the Willow Creek Apartments in March of 2003
could be extremely important to this investigation.
The Houston office of
the FBI is offering up to $20,000 for information leading to the
identification of “Beloved Doe”, his parents, or caretaker. Anyone
with information about this case is asked to contact the Houston
office of the FBI at 713-693-5000 or toll free at 1-888-FBI-IDEN
(1-888-324-4336). For any information originating outside the United
States , contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate.
