NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Twenty-one years ago, a forklift operator at Riverside Recycling in Madison was moving compressed cardboard when they discovered the body of a man.
The man measured 5-foot, 8-inches tall, with black hair and beard and brown eyes. He appeared to be either of white/Caucasian or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity. He is believed to have been between 20 and 40 years old at the time of his death.
According to the Metro Nashville Police Department's Cold Case archives, the man's identity remains unknown to this day. He is instead known only as the "Cardboard John Doe."
At the time of his discovery, the man's body was crushed as a result of being compacted with cardboard at the recycling center. Police believe the man was inside a dumpster at a Murfreesboro Road business when he was carried to the recycling center by a garbage truck.
