On January 10, 2022, an unidentified man (John Doe) was found deceased in Houston, Texas. Nearly four weeks earlier, on December 13, 2021, a man named Alejandro Gonzales Martines was arrested in the same city. Since that arrest, he has not been seen or heard from again.

We are strongly convinced that these two individuals are the same person.

This match had already been suggested by online investigators in early 2022, shortly after the discovery of John Doe. At that time, authorities declined to pursue a comparison — citing that Alejandro had not officially been reported missing.

More recently, the Meyer Institute for Truth and Justice conducted an independent facial comparison between booking photo of Mr. Martines and the postmortem image of John Doe. The results are compelling. Multiple physical identifiers align with precision, including:

• several identically placed moles on the face,

• the shape of the nose,

• and the distinct contour of the right earlobe.

These features are clearly marked in the side-by-side image provided below. This is not a vague resemblance — it is a highly specific and consistent match.

Update July 2025 – Ongoing Investigation
On May 26, 2025, the Meyer Institute submitted this information to the relevant authorities, requesting a DNA comparison to confirm or exclude this identification.

On July 7, 2025, we received a message from the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences confirming that the investigation is still ongoing and that, due to the nature of the investigation, they are not at liberty to share further details:

“Thank you for the information. This is still an ongoing investigation; therefore, we are not at liberty to share further details.”

We note that, to our knowledge, the authorities have taken the investigation seriously since our official report and the submission of the comparison photos. We continue to closely follow the case and encourage anyone with relevant information to share it through the official channels.
