Police look to identify man whose skeletal remains were found in Harlem in 1997

Police are hoping that new composite images will help solve a nearly 30-year-old mystery concerning a man found dead in a Harlem building.

On Aug. 1, 1997, police found the remains of a man inside a building on West 121st Street. Few details were known about the man, who was believed to be between 20-30 years old at his time of death, and about six feet tall.

The city's medical examiner still does not know the victim's cause of death.
