apr 1, 1978 - Rimforest John Doe Skull found

Description:

On Apr. 1, 1978, this skull was found somewhere in Rimforest, San Bernardino County, CA.
Est. age range 17-35yo, est YOD 1978. COD not stated. Race unsure. Very few details available.

Proposed by: me
Reasons proposed: Demographics, time period, SoCal; close proximity to three confirmed dump sites

Facts that could go either way:
Race/ethnicity unknown (Kraft only killed white men/boys);
COD unknown/not stated (so therefore could differ from Kraft's MO, or possibly not even be a result of foul play);
Exact location of discovery unknown (proximity to roadway, whether or not buried, etc. therefore unknown);
Only skull found (i.e., possibility of decapitation which aligns with Kraft's occasional MO, or instead disarticulation as a result of decomposition, animals, etc);
Overall lack of information, open possibilities.
