NCA CASE / South Wales Police
The body of a man was found floating in the Bristol Channel, near the multi-storey car park at the Esplanade, on May 24th 1979. The body was of a thin white man, 5'10" (178cm) tall, estimated to be between 60 and 70 years old.
He had brown greying hair, was clean shaven, and had a number of noted distinguishing features: a vertical abdominal scar below the naval, two large warts below the left shoulder blade, a burn scar on the right hand, false teeth, and a small tattoo on his left wrist. This was of a horizontal line with a dot above and below it, possibly the mathematical division symbol.
His left big toe was noted as having 'abnormal bending', suggesting he may have walked with a limping gait.
The man was found wearing black shoes and socks, combat green/khaki trousers (similar to ex-army type), a dark blue studded shirt with a white and blue collar, a red tie, a black waistcoat, and a dark green checked jacket. About his person he had two receipts dated May 1979 from Woolworths in Neath and Cardiff.
