McCreary is not affiliated with campus, according to UCPD.

“UCPD first learned of the skeletal remains in January 2023 and immediately responded to the scene at that time,” UCPD said in a statement. 

McCreary’s remains were discovered in a brick building near the parking lot of the Clark Kerr Campus, which has been unoccupied since 1979. It was part of the California School for the Blind, built in 1928, and was unused for three years when the University of California acquired the Clark Kerr Campus. According to UCPD, the building is being used by campus as storage space.   

According to a UCPD statement, McCreary died years ago. His death has been ruled a homicide after analysis by the Alameda County Coroner’s Office due to the condition of the bones, UCPD added.  

“Forensic and other evidence indicates the death occurred many years ago,” UCPD said. 

He was originally from Texas and was born in 1972, but it is assumed that he made his way to California and Berkeley via trains or hitchhiking, and he was known to have spent some time in San Francisco. 

According to UCPD, McCreary’s family last spoke with him in 2009. 

The delay in releasing additional information after the initial discovery of McCreary’s skeleton was due to the nature of the situation as an ongoing investigation and UCPD’s efforts to respect the process of identifying the remains. This included notifying the next of kin before releasing anything publicly. 

Now, UCPD is looking for anyone who knew McCreary to contact them as this investigation is still ongoing. This information was released publicly in order to assist with the investigation.  

Anyone who ever interacted with him for any reason is asked to contact UCPD Detective Sergeant Jon Caires at (510) 642-0482, jcaires@berkeley.edu or Detective Mitch Levi at (510) 642-3658, mlevi@berkeley.edu.
