On the right wrist, another tattoo read “love Melinda” while an “STL” and “a cardinal on a baseball bat” could be spotted on the person’s left shoulder.
The person was wearing several layers of clothing including two pairs of pants and socks and suede boots.
Detectives said that the decedent had a silver ring and a dog tag chain missing the tag when they died.
