He was dumped on a cold dirty road 30 years ago, but still police in Melbourne still don't know his name.
Detectives hope the release of high-tech images will finally reveal who is behind the face that has been haunting them all these years.
The body of the man, believed to be aged between 25 and 35 was found dumped in long grass at North Point Business Park, on the morning of May 1, 1995.
He had been severely beaten and suffered a number of stab wounds to his upper body.
At the time he was wearing a navy blue jumper, grey Nike T-shirt and shorts.
The man was wearing no shoes or jewellery, and had no wallet or phone.
Police have made multiple public pleas to identify the man over the past thirty years.
One of those led to a member of the public coming forward to say they had seen a man of the same description hours earlier outside a home on Sorbonne Drive in Sunbury, 17km away, with a bloody head wound and facial injuries.
The resident opened their door to the man, before closing it and calling the police.
They opened their door again once police were on their way, but the man was gone.
Over the past 30 years, an exhaustive investigation has been conducted by the Homicide Squad in an effort to identify the man and determine who was responsible for his death.
As far as police have been able to establish, he has never been reported as a missing person.
His fingerprints and dental records have also been checked over the years in Australia and internationally, to no avail.
Homicide squad detective inspector Dean Thomas said investigators hoped the new image would finally solve the mystery.
"For the past 30 years, this man has only been known to us as 1238/95. We don't know his name, where he was from, who is family was, how he lived his life," he said.
"It is incredibly rare to have these circumstances where we have been unable to identify someone for such a long period of time.
"It has been a genuine mystery and one that we are exceptionally keen to solve."
