The decedent was located in a pasture in the northern part of the county near the northeast bank of O.C. Fisher Lake. He is believed to be Caucasian, although Hispanic admixture should not be ruled out. He had wavy hair, a slight build, and small ears. Hairstyle and length depicted in the facial rendering is representative of victim’s exact hair at time of death. Items of clothing found near the remains were a “Roundtree and Yorke”-brand burgundy pullover sweatshirt (size large), light-blue “Levi’s”-brand 550 relaxed-fit, button-fly jeans (size 31” x 34”), white socks, and “Brahma”-brand hiking boots (size 7-1/2). An open package of “GPC”-brand cigarettes was on the ground near the body. A green “Outdoor Products”-brand backpack at the scene contained cans of “Cougar”-brand snuff and assorted toiletries. On the outside of the upper flap of the backpack was handwritten in dark marker: “Wayne Rudd Austin, TX. And damn proud of it!”
