After 46 years, he has finally been identified as Johnny Bradshaw, who was 29 years old and from Tennessee. This breakthrough not only restored Johnny's name but also provided his sisters with answers they had been searching for since 1980.

He was the last known unidentified person's case for the St. Petersburg Floridas Police Department.

Keep his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

The original post for him is included below.

This unidentified man was possibly from Tennessee, California, or Missouri. He may have had or used one of the following names: John, Johnny, Robert, or Ronald.

(One old article refers to this Doe as Robert Keys or Keith.)

On April 26th, 1980, he was found dead along with his friend Jack Roy Davis at the Siesta Motel in St. Petersburg, Florida.
(Jack Roy Davis was 40 years old and from Knoxville, TN)

John Doe is believed to have been between 25 and 40 years of age, estimated at 5' 8" and 155 lbs. He had brown hair and reddish-brown facial hair.

His identifying characteristics include a transverse scar approximately 16 inches long, extending from the right chest to the left side, with visible suture marks. A scar under both left and right ni***es. Scar on left arm with suture marks.

He was wearing blue jeans and a silver necklace with a silver star, as well as a gold-colored necklace with a horn-shaped (Possibly a bear claw) medallion.

Kyle Coy "Cowboy" Watson and his girlfriend, David Ann Thomas, both from Knoxville, TN, were charged in relation to both deaths.

If you have any information that could identify this John Doe, please call the District 6 Medical Examiner's Office at (727) 582-6800.
