FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Sheriff’s Office has blended art and science with the hope of identifying a man pulled from the Mare Island Straits more than a year ago.

An artist’s sketch of John Doe No. 1, drawn from a facial reconstruction using his skull, is being circulated by the Sheriff’s Office in hopes that someone will recognize the man.

“Investigators believe the unidentified man most likely lived a semi-vagrant lifestyle near the Bay Area waterways. He was wearing size 13 black Catapult athletic shoes that were worn down to their soles, and (a) pair of size 34/32 brown corduroy pants,” a Sheriff’s Office statement said.

The man is believed to be Hispanic, 30 to 35 years old. He was 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall.

“He may have been active in sports during childhood, as evidenced by the presence of Osgood-Schlatter disease, and overgrowth of bone on his tibia,” the Sheriff’s Office reported.

The body was discovered floating in the water May 5, 2015. Decomposition made identification through traditional forensics impossible. DNA was sent to a lab in Richmond, but no positive ID was made, said Deputy Christine Castillo, public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office.

The cause of death is undetermined, but Castillo said there are no obvious signs of foul play. No missing person’s report has matched, either.

The skeletal remains were sent for an anthropological examination to California State University, Chico. The skull was given to the state Department of Justice, from which the facial reconstruction was completed and the artist’s sketch was made.

Anyone who recognizes this man or has information about the case is asked to call Deputy Tenzin Dorji, the coroner’s investigator, at 784-7500. The case number is 2015-0452.
