Authorities have identified a body found in 1994 and are seeking the public’s assistance to locate any relatives of the person, according to an announcement from the office.
The body was identified as Ian M. Shepard, according to the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office. Shepard died on July 18, 1994, officials said. He was found in a railroad boxcar in Santa Clara between Reed Street and De la Cruz Boulevard. The boxcar may have come from Oakland or Milpitas, officials said.
Authorites said Shephard was a 40-year-old white man with dark grey-brown hair about 10 inches long. He was thin and stood about six feet tall, with a short mustache and a full beard, they said.
