Straight Up Doe: Sharkey County John Doe
On January 8, 2014, contractors were working along a mid-central Mississippi creek in Sharkey County when they found a skull in a drainage canal. There were no other remains found with the skull. In January 2021, DNA results indicated that Sharkey County John Doe was a black male and he likely has relatives form Sharkey County or the surrounding areas. Carbon dating performed through the University of Arizona suggests the boy was born between 2000 and 2004 and likely died between 2007 and 2012. Sharkey County John Doe is described as a black male, between 5 and 7 years old, height and weight undetermined as the entirety of his remains have still not been found. There were not any clothes or accessories found near the skull. Anyone with information regarding the possible identity of Sharkey County John Doe or the circumstances of his death are encouraged to call the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation at 601-987-1530 or NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST.
