apr 10, 1981 - Hollywood John Doe Body found

Description:

COD undisclosed, manner of death homicide.
Proposed by: WS users

Reasons proposed: Demographics, time period, SoCal; foul play suspected; dumped near freeway; some remains (torso, 1+ limbs, 1+ hands) not recovered (could possibly be due to dismemberment (or animal activity, etc), though this possibility is not mentioned in sources); possibly nude? (no info about clothing in sources); proximity to confirmed victims (about 4-5mi)

Reasons against/could go either way: COD undisclosed (therefore it could possibly be gunshot, for example, which does not align with Kraft's known MO)
