A cold case charity is appealing for information about a man who was found in the North Sea 28 years ago. The body of “North Sea Man”, discovered off the coast of Germany in 1994, has never been identified – but several clues suggest a Bristol connection.
Locate International believes the man was aged between 45 and 50 at the time of his death, having suffered a “catastrophic blow to the side of the head and rib cage”. The charity lends specialist assistance to searches for missing and unidentified people and produces award-winning podcast The Missing.
The body of the unidentified male, who is thought to have stood at between 187cm and 197cm tall, was found weighed down by two 3kg iron cobblers feet – tools used by cobblers in the repair of shoes – which were tied to the belt of his trousers.
