‘Frozen Jesus’ mystery finally solved after hikers found body in cave 47 years ago

The identity of a man found frozen in a cave in Pennsylvania, US, has finally been revealed by officials.
During a press conference in Berks County, Pennsylvania, coroner John Fielding III unveiled the details of the 47-year-old cold case.
He said: “For 47 years, this man remained unidentified. A nameless figure. Today I’m honoured to announce that through the unyielding determination of federal, state and local agencies, the Berks County Coroner’s Office has confirmed the identity of this individual. His name is Nicolas Paul Grubb, a 27-year-old man from Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.”
“On January 16, 1977, during one of the coldest recorded months in Pennsylvania’s history, two hikers stumbled upon the frozen body of an unidentified man now known to be Nicolas Paul Grubb along the Appalachian Trail in Albany Township, Pennsylvania.”
The man, who bears a striking resemblance to Jesus Christ according to one X user, was described as a white male between the ages of 25 and 35, with blue eyes and reddish curly long hair.
At the time of his death, he sported a full messianic beard and a mysterious “T” shaped scar on the left side of his chin.
Interestingly, he was discovered in a cave, much like his lookalike Jesus who spent three infamous nights in one after his crucifixion.

Officials have stated that there were no clear signs of foul play, with suicide being suggested as the most likely cause of death due to an overdose of Phenobarbital and Pentobarbital. However, a final decision on the cause of death has not been made yet, as reported by Fox29.
Grubb had served honorably in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard with Company C 1/111th Infantry before receiving his discharge in 1971, according to official records. Investigators have linked at least 10 people to Grubb over the past 15 years using fingerprints and dental X-rays.
County coroners exhumed Grubb’s remains from Potter’s Field in Berks County in 2019, but even a genealogical analysis conducted in 2023 failed to reveal his true identity.
After submitting Grubb’s original fingerprint card to the national database for missing and unclaimed remains earlier this month, an FBI expert was able to determine a match within an hour.
The coroner’s office commented on the case, stating: “This case highlights the difficulty in working cold cases, as well as the considerable effort taken to return unidentified and unclaimed persons back to their loved ones.
They added: “The positive identification of [Grubb] culminates the effort to identify him and locate his family.”
