The man known only by a number: Police hope image will crack 30-year cold case

  • Police released a new, most accurate image of a man found dead in Melbourne on May 1, 1995, in Roxburgh Park's North Point Business Park.
  • The man, known only as 1238/95, remains unidentified despite extensive investigations because he was never reported missing and fingerprint and dental record checks failed.
  • He was estimated to be 25-35 years old with medium-length brown hair, brown eyes, a scar under his right arm, and was severely beaten and stabbed before being found in long grass.
  • Detective Inspector Dean Thomas explained that for three decades, the man’s identity has remained unknown to police, and they have only referred to him by the file number 1238/95; authorities are now offering a $50,000 reward for any information that could lead to his identification.
  • Authorities hope the new image will help identify the man and his family, potentially solving the decades-old mystery and uncovering details of his death.
