NEWS RELEASE ** (Forensic Sketch Attached) **
On Sunday, August 15, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. an unidentified Hispanic man was discovered deceased and submerged in the Wagon Wheel Park area of the Molalla River. The deceased was recovered from the Molalla River by a concerned citizen, and Molalla Fire Rescue personnel responded to the scene to assist.
Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Patrol personnel also responded to the scene to investigate. No witnesses, friends or relatives were located at the scene to provide investigators with any relevant identification of the deceased. The deceased was found with no articles of identification on his person.
As a result of this discovery, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and the Clackamas County Deputy Medical Examiner's Office launched a death investigation into this matter. It was soon determined the deceased had drowned, and was not the victim of foul play.
A forensic sketch artist, representing the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, was directed by investigators to create a forensic sketch of the deceased. While working from an investigators photograph of the deceased, this artist created the facial image drawing of the unidentified man. This completed sketch was then circulated and published by interested media throughout the region.
The completed forensic sketch of the deceased was published and then recognized by a man in the Woodburn area. On August 21, 2010 this reporting person contacted the Molalla Police Department and provided critical information as to the identity of this previously unknown drowning victim.
It was revealed by this reporting party known as Ostiano Guzman Martinez, that he received a phone call from a friend declaring he had seen the publicized forensic sketch on a televised news broadcast and believed this was there mutual friend known as ISIDRO ESTEBAN SANCHEZ GUTIERREZ, age 22, a Mexican National.
Through this investigative effort, it was also learned that ISIDRO ESTEBAN SANCHEZ GUTIERREZ rented a room at the home of his friend Ostiano Guzman Martinez. Investigators also discovered that Isidro Esteban Sanchez Gutierrez was a hard working man that was sending money home regularly to his mother in Mexico.
The Clackamas County Deputy Medical Examiner reports the Mexican Consulate in Portland and Oaxaca played a vital role in ultimately locating the family of the deceased in Mexico. This regrettable family death notification has been completed and the case in now closed by authorities.[END]
