The Case of The Beckley John Doe

In 1972, a young man was found dead along route 19 outside of Beckley, Wv. No ID. No Family. Just a pair of jungle boots and a story about heading south to join the military. Over 50 years later, he's still known only as John Doe. Who was he-and why has no one came forward?
