On July 11, 1963, the body of an unidentified child was recovered from the Keene Creek Reservoir along Highway 66 approximately 12 miles east of Ashland, Oregon. Based on the condition of the remains, it is believed the child died some time after October 1962. The child was wrapped in an aqua blanket and a handmade patchwork quilt with red gingham squares. Two iron assayer’s molds were also found wrapped in the quilt. The child may have suffered from Downs Syndrome or another congenital illness. The child was found wearing a red long-sleeved shirt with horizontal thin white stripes, gray corduroy pants with an elastic waist and a buckle for size adjustment, ankle socks and size 3 white shoes known as "Jumping Jacks". The clothing was likely purchased at “JC Penney”. It is believed the shoes were purchased at Norris Shoe Store in downtown Medford, Oregon. He was also wearing a cloth diaper with blue diaper pins that was covered with elastic pants. The reconstruction featured above is an artist’s rendering of what the John Doe may have looked like. Anyone with information should contact the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, reference case number 63-23011 or the Jackson County Medical Examiner’s Office, reference case number 08-14146.
