Investigators release reconstruction of man found dead in East Dunbartonshire
Anyone who may remember anything is asked to get in contact with the Scottish Cold Case Unit.
Detectives are making a fresh appeal for anyone with information about the death of a man in East Dunbartonshire more than 11 years ago to come forward.
They are working with a team of staff and students at Glasgow Caledonian University to try to identify the body found in woodland near Balmore Golf Club on the 16th October 2011.
They have released a facial reconstruction and a 3D image of the clothes he was wearing when he was discovered.
Dr Maureen Taylor, co-director of the Scottish Cold Case Unit at Glasgow Caledonian, said: "The team have been undertaking inquiries around the clothing he was wearing and his belongings, a geographical profile of the location in which he was found, and missing men from the UK and Europe.
"We know he had a chip to one of his front teeth and injuries to his nose and jaw that he sustained in the months leading to his death.
"These injuries were not only left untreated but would have caused him significant pain. We also believe that he may have walked with a limp or had difficulty walking."
Plea for new information
The man was also carrying a distinctive looking Nike bag with items including headphones, chargers, a lighter, and cigarette papers.
Professor Lesley McMillan, co-director of the Unit, which is made up of Criminology students and academic staff, said: “We hope the information and images in our appeal jog someone’s memory. Perhaps someone will recognise his clothing or his belongings and help us establish who he is.
“The Cold Case Unit has spent the last 18 months gathering as much detail as we can to progress this case.
"We greatly value the relationship we have with Police Scotland and are grateful to our colleagues at the University of Dundee for the renewed facial reconstruction and support with 3D imaging.
“We would encourage anyone with information that might be relevant, no matter how small, to please get in touch with us.”
