John Doe 2 - Tom Green County, Tx
November 01, 1996
Tom Green County Sheriff's Office are seeking the public's assistance in identifying a man whose remains were discovered in December 1996 in Tom Green County. Investigators estimate that the man died in the beginning of November 1996. The cause of death is unknown.
On Dec. 2, 1996, the man's body was found in a pasture in the northern part of Tom Green County near the northeast bank of O.C. Fisher Lake. Based on multiple forensic analyses, the man is believed to be Caucasian, although mixed Hispanic descent should not be ruled out.
A DPS Texas Rangers' forensic artist was able to develop a facial reconstruction image (pictured below) from the skull of the decedent. At the time of his death, he was estimated to be between the ages of 28 and 50, and approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall with a slight frame. His hair was medium-brown or possibly red, although its lightened appearance may have been due to sun exposure before the body was discovered. The hairstyle and length depicted in the facial rendering is an exact likeness to the victim's hair at time of death.
•White socks and Brahma-brand hiking boots (size 7 ½ )

Teresa Wagner
February 25, 1992
Teresa Wagner was last seen on the night of January 10, 1992 at an Odessa night club partying with friends. 46 days later on February 25th her body was located in west Ector County, about ½ mile north of I20 near FM 866 on an oilfield lease road. At the time she was 25 years old.
Her badly decomposed body left few clues for investigators. A tattoo of a Pegasus on the back of her right shoulder would later aid in identifying her. Autopsy reports state her death was a result of an undetermined cause, but investigators strongly believe foul play was involved. An extensive investigation eventually wound up at a stand still.
Teresa had 2 small children at the time of her death, who are now young adults. They want and deserve to know what happened to their mother. 23 years is a long to wonder and wait. Someone knows how Teresa ended up in that field and they know what caused her death.
