Man has lived as John Doe for years, but now his guardian wants mystery solved


His real name isn't known. For years now, he simply has been identified as John D108 Doe.

Those caring for him don't know his age. Or whether he has family. They don't know whether he was abandoned or whether anyone is searching for him. It's not even clear when he went from a man with an identity to someone who no one knows.

Court records show it has been at least four years since the man was found wandering the streets and knocking on doors. But stories passed down to those caring for him indicate it may be closer to eight years ago when he was first found on Detroit's east side.

Police ran his fingerprints and didn't get any hits.

He can't speak beyond a few words. He has been diagnosed with severe mental illness and has lived in a group home in Detroit since 2008. Now, his new guardian and her daughter want the mystery of John D108 Doe solved.
