Hall said Ronald was married to Kathryn Erickson, who died in November 1993. Family members said they may have lived on Chicago’s north side.

Dodge’s remains were found next to railroad tracks in Pleasant Prairie on August 27, 1993. The remains were already in an advanced stage of decomposition.

In 2018, the Kenosha County Coroner’s Office and the DNA Doe Project determined that the man was of Native American descent and had relatives from the Menominee Indian tribe.

Hall said Aaron Dodge saw a press release with a facial reconstruction of the unknown man and contacted her office to say his brother had been missing since May 8, 1993.

After exhumation and a DNA test, it was determined that the body was Ronald Dodge.

Pleasant Prairie police said Dodge suffered a gunshot wound shortly before his death and was known to frequent the Chicago area at the time of his death. Police are still investigating the homicide and anyone with information is asked to contact Kenosha County Crime Stoppers or the Pleasant Prairie Police Department.
