Tweed River John Doe found in a bag in 2012 remains a mystery. NSW police released 3D imagery in a bid to identify the body in a bag. Photos of fabrics available.
# THE bag a decomposed body was found in a cotton fibre style bag was found is distinctive, but the identity of the man remains a mystery. # Police on the NSW-Queensland border have renewed efforts to solve the mystery of an unidentified man whose body washed up on the banksโฆ
