Summary
What happened, as the record shows.
In February 2000, skeletal remains of a Native American man, 20 to 25 years old and about 5 feet 7 inches tall, were found north of St. Onge in Lawrence County, South Dakota. He had been shot multiple times, likely between 1997 and 1999, and his body was partially concealed with two wooden planks. He had a pronounced overbite; his DNA was registered in national databases with no match. An April 2026 Dakota News Now report confirms he is still unidentified.
