Circumstances of Recovery

Multiple conflicting witness statements; the skull is believed to have possibly been "unearthed" from the desert. Statements mention Nevada, but also possibly Utah or Washington. Reporting parties state that the skull has been "passed around" to multiple individuals and is believed to have been originally discovered in the 1930's. Skull was brought to the El Paso County Coroner's Office in 2011. A forensic odontologist that originally examined the skull in 2011 stated that skull most likely belonged to a male, over the age of 18, and had wisdom teeth still intact.
