South Glenmore Park, Calgary AB
- Found on April 17, 2005

The Calgary medical examiner’s office is asking for assistance in identifying a deceased man whose body was discovered in a wooded area in the South Glenmore Park on April 17, 2005.

He is described as possibly Asian in his late teens or early 20s, between five foot ten and six feet, 150 pounds with short black hair, with frosted tips.

Investigators believe the individual’s first name may be Jay as two provincial key tags bearing this name were found attached to a backpack in his possession. In addition, the first name Jay was printed on the inside cover of a red Korean/English bible in the man’s possession.

When the deceased man was found, he was wearing a black leather jacket, white Nike running shoes, and blue jeans with a black and white stripe running down the outside seam of the legs and carrying a black backpack.

Also found in his possession was a stamp, which may symbolize a family crest.
