JACKSON COUNTY, Ore. – A child who was found dead in rural Jackson County nearly 60 years ago has been positively identified.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said in 1963, a Rogue River man found a 2-year-old boy’s body while fishing in Keene Creek Reservoir in the hills above Ashland. The boy was reportedly wrapped in blankets, bound in wire, and weighed down to keep his body hidden.
Jackson County took over the case after the gruesome discovery was made. However, it eventually turned cold and remained that way until the case was reopened about 15 years ago.
In August of 2008, the boy’s body was exhumed from the Hillcrest Memorial Park cemetery and a DNA sample was taken. However, there were no matches with a national DNA database.
