Authorities have reopened an investigation into a murder case dating back over a decade, aiming to identify a man whose remains were discovered in a secluded woodland area. In November 2015, campers in Clocaenog Forest, located in Conwy county, stumbled upon a portion of a man’s skull, which prompted a police search that eventually uncovered the full skeleton. Forensic tests revealed that the individual had sustained significant head injuries and had been deceased for several years, potentially since as early as 2004. Despite numerous scientific examinations and public appeals, the identity of the victim has remained unknown.
The review, led by North Wales Police in cooperation with the National Crime Agency (NCA), marks a renewed effort to solve this long-standing mystery. A police spokesperson confirmed that the recently established Major Crime Review Team is revisiting the case. The team is collaborating with forensic experts nationwide in an attempt to shed new light on the man’s identity. The authorities hope that advancements in investigative methods and expert insights will lead to a breakthrough.
The body was found at Pentrellyncymer near Cerrigydrudion by two brothers who were camping ahead of the Wales Rally GB event. Forensic analysis has estimated the man’s age to be over 54 and his height between 5 feet 8 inches (172 cm) and 5 feet 10 inches (177 cm). Additional findings indicated the man had a fractured nose and suffered from arthritis. Clothing discovered at the location included a Pringle jumper, which was manufactured and sold in outlet stores during the early 2000s, specifically between 2000 and 2004.
Earlier efforts to identify the victim involved requests for assistance from the dental community, given that the man had undergone two dental procedures involving crown work commonly performed in the UK between 1980 and 2000. Investigators also noted that evidence near the scene included a label from Marks & Spencer underwear produced between 1999 and 2000. Although it is likely that the body was left in the forest between 2004 and 2010, police have not dismissed the possibility that the victim was deposited there even earlier
