A headless, handless, nude body with an "X" carved into his chest is found in rural New York state on March 20, 1970. As the body has no head, no hands, no identification or clothing, the case goes cold quickly and the body is laid to rest as Allegany County John Doe 1970. No "Missing Person" report was filed, ever. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack take a look at an almost impossible to solve case, that got cracked wide open 56 years later changing the name from John Doe, to Clyde Coppage, age 35, when he was murdered in 1970. His killer has never been caught and the case remains "Active".
