Md. police release composite sketch based on remains found in park 2 years ago

WASHINGTON — Authorities in Maryland have released a new composite sketch of a young man whose remains were found in a Frederick County park two years ago.

Maryland Natural Resources Police said they believe the remains found in Cunningham Falls State Park in May 2016 were those of a Hispanic male in his late teens to early 20s. The composite sketch is based off a partial skull found in the park.

Police said they don’t know the color of the victim’s eyes or hair, and they said he may have last seen in a plaid button-down shirt.

Police said they believe he may have been dead for one or two years before his remains were discovered.

Anyone with information is asked to call Maryland Natural Resources Police at 410-260-8888 or call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST. You can also email Cp. Jeffrey Beshore at jeffreybeshore@maryland.gov. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
