On October 25, 2022, a body was discovered in a wooded area adjacent to 58 Wick Street in the city of Buffalo, NY. The body was unrecognizable due to decomposition, and authorities are unsure how long the body was there before being found and could not determine an estimated year of death.

Buffalo John Doe is described as a white adult male between the ages of 45 and 65 with slightly wavy light brown hair and an unknown eye color. He was 6 feet tall and weighed 269 lbs. All parts of his body were discovered, but he appeared to have an amputated index finger. He had a birthmark on his right flank, a monochromatic tattoo of a ying-yang symbol on his left wrist, and was wearing a navy blue hooded zippered sweatshirt, gray underwear, black jeans, and white and gray socks. A white, sports-ball print bedsheet was found near the body.

Anyone with information regarding the possible identity of Buffalo John Doe or the circumstances of his death are encouraged to call the Buffalo Police Department at 716-851-4444.
