More than 34 years ago, hunters in a wooded area in Daviess County found the body of a man who had been shot multiple times, beaten and had his hands and feet cut off.

For decades, Kentucky State Police said, attempts to identify the homicide victim were unsuccessful.

But Friday night, state police announced that they finally know the man’s name.

The man, William Dennis Mathews, of Louisville, was identified through genealogy testing with the help of the Trans Doe Task Force, state police said in a news release.

Mathews would have been 37 years old when his body was found on Jan. 7, 1990.

The Daviess County Sheriff’s Office had previously published photos and renderings of the man, whose body was found about “40 feet into the wood line off Pleasant Valley Road” near South Hampton Road in the Philpot community, according to the sheriff’s office’s website.

State police asked that anyone with information about the case call KSP Post 16 at 270-826-3312.
