Still no ID on body found last year in Junction Creek

Police say they've followed up on all tips regarding human remains found in creek almost one year ago
Almost a year has passed and Greater Sudbury Police say they are no closer to identifying a man whose body was found in Junction Creek on May 2, 2015.
 
Police said they have followed up on all tips they've received from the public, and have hit dead ends, eliminating possible matches. 
 
The man has been described as Aboriginal, between 30 and 48 years old, around 5-5 in height and weighing 157 lbs. 
 
He had long, straight black hair, a thin to medium build, a black beard with a moustache, only four stained front teeth remaining in his upper jaw and was found wearing a dark hoodie with images of wolves on chest, sleeves and back.
 
He had an old pellet gun wound on his chin, with the pellet still embedded in the bone, had a one-inch scar on his right knee and no tattoos. 
 
A 12-year-old girl and her father discovered the man's body in Junction Creek at the intersection of Regent Street and McLeod Street, when they were shooting video of a beaver in the creek.
 
Anyone with information about the man can call Greater Sudbury Det. Const. Ryan Hutton at 705-675-9171 ext. 2310, or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers by phoning 705-222-TIPS (8477).
